“When Baldwin took physicial possession of that firearm he became responsible for every shot fired from that weapon.”
That is simply not true under the law. Possession does not mean responsibility. A pilot is responsible for the safety of his passengers, but if it was the mistake of a mechanic that caused a fatal accident it’s the mechanic not the pilot who is responsible.
Baldwin going to jail would be a joy, but the law itself matters.
This is a false equivalency.
Was the Baldwin’s firearm defective? No.
Baldwin was responsible to check the weapon safe, end of story.
