REGARDLESS, THE GUN HAD A BULLET IN IT!
So poor baldy isn’t to blame?

HE IS, HE PULLED THE TRIGGER without checking to make sure it wasn’t loaded.
Anyone given a gun to ‘shoot at someone’ should always check for safeties, even if they’re told it was not loaded and safe to use.

Who in the right mind would not?

He deserves a BIG punishment for stupidity.

With the hammer fully cocked, the gun “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger

Even worse, I don't think it could fire with a pull of the trigger either from half cock position which I always considered a safety. Double action sure but not single action, at least none that I ever handled.

Being as the FBI lies about everything now, this actually strengthen’s Baldwin’s case.

Yes.

It involves HOLDING THE TRIGGER while “fanning” the hammer.

I might have felt sorry for the poor fool, who just doesn’t know guns. But he’s Alec Baldwin and I have my double standards!

Nothing.

That’s called “cocking” it.

This is similar to the very last episode of Perry Mason.

They were filming a scene when someone is killed, allegedly by a stunt gun.

SPOILER:

It was actually someone with a real gun, and it was Dick Clark of all people.

“Anyone given a gun to ‘shoot at someone’”

And even after you check the gun out you still don’t point it at anyone, including someone not even in the scene.

And there was a requirement for a ballistic shield for the crew, which was not used.

Baldwin was in charge of the set, he’s responsible for all of the above.

It took them 10 months to figure this out.

Well, we are talking about the vaunted FBI here.

Regarding the title of the article, is a gun only deadly after someone dies from it?

I thought all guns and mostly all weapons were deadly.

More people die in America each year by weapons called “hands and feet” than by all rifles for example.

Bull.

I once pulled the hammer back—almost all the way; without locking—accidently and that sucker went off.

Scared the crap out of me and my knees started to wobble thinking what would have happened if my brother-in-law was downrange of me (he had just stepped back to the firing line).

It was a screw up on my part. I had no intention to make the piece fire, but you know about intentions. Lots of people get killed.
