Crew members on the set of "Rust" used guns with live ammunition and engaged in a pastime called "plinking" hours before Halyna Hutchins was killed, founder and CEO of The Wrap, Sharon Waxman, told CNN's Don Lemon Monday night, citing information from an individual with knowledge of the set.

Women don’t have wives and one woman cannot impregnant another woman.
How would liberals who did not own gun get the idea to shoot beer cans with them?
only thing around?
LOL
Forty or more years ago I read that REAL AMMO was banned on all movie sets.
I guess some did not get the message or they were above paying attention to rules.
“Familiarity breeds contempt.”
This was not a “prop”, it was a vintage Colt single action.
Sounds like the authoresses have not fired a gun in their lives.
We agree more than disagree. I doubt justice will ever be served. Yet somehow I just don’t see him coming out of this completely unscathed.
Do we know the distance between Baldwin in the church pew and the camera (and victims)?
Why did he need to pull the trigger in a rehearsal?
Actors are not exempt from checking the gun. It’s in the filming with weapons rules. The armorer must display to any cast and crew that the gun is unloaded. It is the bearer who is responsible to check. Cast member or crew. If the Almighty hands you a gun, trust him. No one else. YOU are responsible no matter what you do for a living.
If you’re only at the mental capacity of a 5 year old, you cannot be cast as an adult in a gun film.
He blasted her at near point blank range. That’s why Baldwin was covered in blood.
He was practicing quick drawing and firing the revolver at the camera. This would involve quickly drawing the weapon, cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger for a classic "quickdraw" scene that's in about 90% of all western genre movies. As I understand it, the gun should have been empty, not even blanks at this point, let alone live round(s).
The armorer and asst director both appear to have cavalier attitudes toward firearm safety, and had no business in their respective positions. The armorer allowing people to handle, load with live ammo and fire the weapons after hours and between scenes is unbelievable, but she seems more into being "cool" than being safe. Live ammo on the set? Her age and obvious immaturity were glaring warnings that she was unqualified. Also, why is an asst director handling and issuing weapons to actors instead of the armorer?
Seeing as Baldwin is the Producer, he is going to get murdered in the civil suits coming up, made even worse that he pulled the trigger. It's highly unlikely he will face criminal charges, but he will get soaked financially.
Media spin doesn’t convince me of squat!
He had the weapon in his own hand, he cocked it with his own thumb, he aimed it at that woman with his own eyes, he pulled the trigger with his own index finger, HE SHOT THAT WOMAN DEAD!!!
END OF STORY!
The STUPID MAY BURN HIM, but it is no excuse.
Problem with that statement is that they weren’t filming and were on a break in the work.
Baldwin was sitting on a chair when the director told them they would have to re-shoot a scene again.
He was fooling around (WITH A DEADLY WEAPON) when he pointed it at her and said maybe I should just shoot you, then pulled the trigger
Yup.
Is plinking a term that’s out of favor now? Granted, it’s usually used when describing knocking bottles off fence posts with a .22 not blasting giant .45 holes through Hollywood camerawomen LOL.
How lucky is Baldwin that the DA is a matriarch in good standing - a freaking Butch lesbian with a wife and holding children hostage to their woke sexually deviant “lifestyle”
I thought he was practicing his fast draw from a cross body holster?
