The law says that you are responsible for the gun that is in your hand. It doesn’t matter what somebody tells you when they are handling a gun.

OK, you're an actor on a set, and you have a scene where you drive a car really fast then slam on the brakes right in front of the camera.

But the car you were given has faulty brakes and when you hit them nothing happens, and you plow through the camera crew and unit photographer and maybe a couple of lighting and sound crew.

Who's criminally responsible for not making sure the brakes on the car were in proper working order? The actor driving, or the film's car wrangler who gave him the keys and a thumbs up?

The law doesn’t recognize exceptions, in regards to guns. “Everybody but actors, must check their guns.

He’s also the EP. It is his job as EP to check those guns any way to ensure they were properly prepared before he checks of that box. If he had done the job that he had, as EP, he would have seen the bullet and got the gun re-prepped.

He failed to follow the law and he failed his position as EP.
Many conservative actors, like John Schneider, has said they do their gun checks themselves if they are aware that they are using a real gun.

It was Baldwin’s call to save a few thousand dollars by using local real guns than fly prop guns from a Hollywood armory.

That’s a third failing on his part.

Not the same. He was the director as well as an actor, who saw that the required protective barriers were not in place between him and the camera crew and pulled the trigger anyway.

... "devoid of regard for the life or lives of others."
