Jeff Cooper and his 4 rules would tell you that Alec was way in the wrong as well.

Was it ever determined where the live ammo came from, why it was there?
Early on, it was said that someone was shooting live ammo, in the pistol.
She’s the Armorer.
Hanna should never have been in that line of work.
‘Rust’ armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed once gave unchecked gun to 11-year-old actor: report
“Gutierrez-Reed’s alleged misstep happened on the set of the upcoming Nicholas Cage film, “The Old Way” and temporarily halted filming, sources told The Daily Beast.
“She was reloading the gun on the ground, where there were pebbles and stuff,” one source told the outlet. “We didn’t see her check it, we didn’t know if something got in the barrel or not.”
Gutierrez-Reed reportedly handed the gun to child actress Ryan Kiera Armstrong, forcing concerned crew members to intervene, the report said. The gun was then checked for barrel obstruction, according to the sources.
“She was a bit careless with the guns, waving it around every now and again,” a source said.
“There were a couple times she was loading the blanks and doing it in a fashion that we thought was unsafe.”
A “Rust” production source described Reed as “inexperienced and green,” to the outlet, adding that there had been two other incidents of accidental discharges by crew members.”

“. a movie set using blanks...”
Blanks on movie sets have killed.
Baldwins trial is in July
Morrissey also said that following the fatal shooting, the 27-year-old armorer was more “worried about her career” and less about the victims.
Who’s not worried about their own hide?
Someone put hot rounds in that revolver and I doubt it was the armorer. If the authorities don’t clean this up they should be kicked squarely in the teeth. Twice.
They form LLCs. He’s personally going to be fine monetarily.
The husband already took a payoff.
But, she didn’t pull the trigger....

Baldwin could mow down a crowded sidewalk driving an SUV, and he would blame the SUV.
ALWAYS assume a gun is dangerous. Check, re-check, and re-re-check. If it is in your hand, you are responsible.
(I know, I know, using the term ‘responsible’ around democRATS is ridiculous).
“There should never be any live ammo that produces a projectile . a movie set using blanks...”
From what I’ve read they were using these guns for target shooting a day or two previously. If that’s the case, these people are a toxic combination of stupidity and carelessness.
“I fear that this is absolution for Baldwin. The little people take the fall.”
That’s kinda what I was thinking.
You want her raped? Yeah that’s hilarious.
Did the wounded guy take one?
L
My exact sentiments.
Bottom line is Alec was the PRODUCER and thus responsible for everything on the set.
Period.
“Was it ever determined where the live ammo came from, why it was there?”
I watched a lot of it and I didn’t hear anything about how the live ammo got on set.....a lot of finger pointing though. SMH
Jury convicts movie armorer of involuntary manslaughter in fatal shooting by Alec Baldwin

The gun fired the shot? Baldwin’s finger pulled the trigger, thus he fired shot.
