Baldwin was an actor in a movie, and movies are make-believe.

Movies are make-believe, but the pertinent firearm was not. It wasn't a dummy gun, it wasn't CGI. Just because it was used in a make-believe setting didn't change it from being a deadly instrument.

I think it quite reasonable to take the stance that Baldwin the actor, as the last line of defense against something like this, and as the responsible party for pulling the trigger, had an obligation to check the rounds in the gun (dummy rounds for movies have a BB inside the case, all you have to do is give them a shake).

I agree....
Check -—Then Double check.
