I would say whoever put an actual live round into the gun is most responsible.
Gun safety rules are not laws.
Baldwin is an absolute jerk of the highest order, but I’m attempting to look at it dispassionately.
Baldwin never checked the rounds which he was supposed to do, and he broke 16 other safety rules as well before he pulled the trigger which resulted in a woman being killed. The armor or isn’t the only one that is supposed to check the rounds, because with firearms there are no-dovers if something goes wrong. Baldwin was the director, and one of the safety violations he committed was not getting the crew behind safety glass for the rehearsal. another major violation was that he was never supposed to point the gun at anyone. He screwed up big time all the way through the scene. He refused to take safety lesson on how to cross draw before the scene as well. There were screwups,all,around, but hemultimately,was the one that didn’t check the gun and just pulled the trigger. Noone else pulled that trigger.
If two people enter an abandoned building, and find a gun, and one picks it up and starts waving it or pointing it at the power person,,and the gun goes off, the person pulling the trigger is responsible. And if the other person tell.s the gun holder to check, and he doesn’t, then reminds the person it is never good to point a gun at anyone especially if you don’t know it’s loaded or not, and If the soon to be victim auggests that the gun holder should,take safety lessons first before waving a gun around, and the person refuses, and points,it cirectly at the victim and pulls th3 trigger, the the majority of blame falls on the person who carelessly fired a gun without knowing if it had rounds in it or not.
The owner of,the gun shares some blame, but that gun was not hurting anyone until a buffoon picked it up, pointed it at someone, and pulled the trtrigger. The owner would be guilty of negligence, but the shooter is guilty of negligent homicide at least
That is what balwin did essentially- broke nearly every rule in his arrogance, and someone paid the price for it, and sadly he won’t even take responsiblity for what he did
