Todays article says the AD blames Hollywoods values and procedures. He didn't follow Hollywoods procedures. He went outside of the state and used non-union labor to circumvent those procedures and cut costs. So it's Hollywoods fault. Not the armorer. Not the AD. Certainly not the trigger man, Alec. It's everybody and it's nobody. Let's just get on with our lives like it never happened.

if Alec had taken a NRA gun safety course, this could have been prevented.

i do not think that the amount of rounds fired on set would amount to a billion... he’s being dramatic. it only takes one moron to kill someone.

I have a terrific idea.

Instead of making it so Alec Baldwin can't get his hands on a gun, let's make it so no one can get his hands on a gun.

Which happens to be what Alec Baldwin wanted before he used a gun to kill someone and wound someone else.

Whenever someone hands a gun to me.....THE VERY FIRST THING I DO IS TO CHECK THE MAGAZINE AND/OR THE CYLINDER!

Anyone with half a brain knows this!

AB belongs in prison for stupidity so that his stupid doesn’t rub off on anyone else!

"[H]ow many bullets were fired in movies and TV shows over the last 75 years?" he said on Saturday. "… Billions? ... Some new measures have to take place. ... No live ammunition. No real weapons in the set."

He just refuted his own argument. The problem was lax enforcement by an inexperienced armorer.

While waiting between takes, Hexum put a gun to his temple and shot himself with a blank. He didn't understand that blanks contain explosives, and the force of the explosion can kill at very short range.

But going back at least 50 years, the deaths of Hutchins and Lee were the only two involving live ammunition.

Hexum died from a blank - and stupidity - not live ammunition

“The Actors Equity Association, the union to which Baldwin belongs, clearly states the rules for firearms use on its website:

“Treat all guns as if they are loaded and deadly.”
“Never point a firearm at anyone including yourself. Always cheat the shot by aiming to the right or left of the target character.”
“Check the firearm every time you take possession of it.”
“Live ammunition may not be brought into the theatre.””

I wonder if this will be brought out in the investigation?

Alec sweety? You were free as both star actor and executive producer to use a fake gun with no ammo. You passed that up in favor of murdering this young woman. But now you want to prevent other people from operating safely.

You’re an a$$hole.

This moron doesn’t have the sense to STFU, does he? I saw a video where he’s talking to reporters and his wife tries to get him to shut up and he shoos her away.

What a maroon.

"[H]ow many bullets were fired in movies and TV shows over the last 75 years?"

Well, there was the one that killed Brandon Lee, which was an improperly fabricated dummy cartridge where the armorer removed the powder from a real cartridge, but retained the primer, so that when it was fired the bullet had just enough energy to lodge into the barrel of the gun. Later, when a full power blank was fired, that was more than enough energy to fire the lodged bullet into Brandon Lee.

Then there was the bullet you fired on the set of "Rust."

I'd say about two bullets were fired in movies and TV shows over the last 75 years.

Alec still thinks the gun killed her and not himself.

Alec Baldwin killed this woman because he was sloppy and too lazy to check the gun before playing with it. It’s that simple. No amount of rhetoric from him can change that one iota.

John Wayne shooting cans by Jimmy Stewart.
In a Alec Baldwin film Jimmy Stewart would have been shot....
