Ah, but you are assuming that “HIM” is in his right mind! ;-)

They had a weapons guy who complained about the lax weapons security.

So they fired him.

They hired an incompetent person, who also used the guns for recreational target practice.

This person is in charge of CERTIFYING that the guns are safe for use on the set.

They didn’t do their job, and handed him a gun to use with a LIVE ROUND in it. Meaning they didn’t do the most basic effort of opening it and checking that it is empty.

I actually feel a little sorry for Baldwin, I can’t imaging the horror of accidentally killing someone... BUT he was also the producer in charge of hiring the incompetent crew, when the previous crew WARNED HIM of this.

If he was just the actor, I would not hold him responsible at all.

I hold a different view. I mean, if you are handling real weapons, then, it occurs to me, you should damn well know what you are doing. If you don't know what you are doing, you shouldn't handle the weapon. If he is going to pull the trigger, even in a scene, he should have been trained to know how to check if it loaded, if it has a blank round, etc. Everyone handling the weapon should be well versed in gun safety.

Anyone who handles a gun is responsible for the consequences of that gun's discharge. It doesn't matter if you are a cop, a robber, an instructor at a gun range, a drunk at a party or a guy making a movie. I don't see how the fact that he was making a movie exempts him from knowing basic gun safety. If I was filming a car chase scene in a movie, and I wiped out some innocent pedestrians, I don't think I would be able to claim "it's okay officer, we are just making a movie."

If you point a gun at someone, and pull the trigger, and kill them....you are responsible.

My daughter, who is NOT what I would consider conservative...tries to be middle of the road....went through a 9 hour CCL class on Sunday. Her big take away? Alec Baldwin murdered that woman. She’s right. There’s no way that Baldwin could NOT have known all the safety protocols that go with guns. He’s been around them and used them all his adult life. It wasn’t carelessness. It wasn’t an accident. For some reason he killed her.

I seem to remember she had an Epstein connection, or some such thing...

Haha! I was just commenting to. Mrs Schultze last night that after three years of a mocking caricature on SNL, Trump should affect an Alec personae at rallies and return fire in large doses.

The Sheriff’s office is referring to this incident as a shooting investigation,” Sheriff’s spokesman Juan Rios said. “That detail will be addressed by detectives as they work their case.” The Sheriff’s office did say that the shooting occurred “during filming of a scene.”

"The Sheriff's Department has confirmed it was Baldwin who pulled the trigger during the gun accident. 42-year-old director of photography Halyna Hutchins died from her injuries."

"As we've reported, Alec and co. were rehearsing for a shoot-out scene inside a church. Alec, the lead, was using a .45 Colt revolver. Baldwin reportedly said, "So, I guess I'm gonna take this out, pull it out and go, 'Bang!'" -- at which point, Baldwin actually carried out the gesture and fired.

It must be serendipity that this story is posted by you today. Earlier this morning I was going through old DVR recordings came across one for the TV show “The Closer”. Alec Baldwin was guest starring has an overbearing father who also happen to be high ranking in the LA County Sheriff’s Department. I’ve always thought that Alec Baldwin was a good actor; but he played into this role of an overbearing butthole father that was a entitled jerk all too easily. I think that is his natural self.

"If he was just the actor, I would not hold him responsible at all."

The penalty for lying under oath to a law enforcement investigation in New Mexico, aka perjury -- a 4th-degree Felony -- 18 months in prison and a fine up to $5,000.
