U.S. - The nation has begun clamoring for common-sense Alec Baldwin control to curb unnecessary deaths from careless actors gunning down their coworkers on set. "How many more have to die before we as a nation will implement common-sense, reasonable controls on Alec Baldwin?" asked one protestor outside the Capitol building. "Blood is on our hands every day we allow Alec Baldwin to remain on the streets and not be locked up in a safe, away from guns and ammo, when he's not being used." Legislators have proposed many common-sense Alec Baldwin control laws, from a background check on any...

"Any statements made on television during an investigation could result in unintended admissions that could be used against him later at trial or could prejudice the prosecutor against him," Fiset pointed out. "If statements relating to facts turn out to be disproved, it will hurt his credibility with law enforcement or at trial. His admissions that someone is to be blamed – but not him – could also potentially be used against him later in either a civil or criminal case if it is determined that he had some responsibility for set safety as a major producer of the film."...

Actor Alec Baldwin told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos while he is sad over accidentally killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on a movie set with a prop gun, he does not have any guilt over the incident because he is not responsible. "No. No. I feel that someone is responsible for what happened and I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me," Baldwin said. "What do we come out of this learning? What changes can be made? This is a one-in-a-billion that someone puts a real bullet in a gun and that never happens," Baldwin added. He wants...

"Unless the person is the cinematographer who's directing me at where to point the gun for her camera angle," Baldwin said. "That's exactly what happened." Criticism of Baldwin has come from fellow actors, some of whom shared their own protocol using weapons while filming. George Clooney said recently that, "Every single time I'm handed a gun on a set -- every time they had me a gun -- I look at it, I open it, I show...

-snip- Baldwin said that Hutchins had been guiding him during the rehearsal on the set on October 21, as she was “marking” a scene for shooting angles. He said that he advised Hutchins, “Now, in this scene, I am going to cock the gun.” “So I take the gun and I start to cock the gun. I’m not going to pull the trigger. I said, ‘Did you see that?’ [She said] ‘Well, just cheat it down and tilt it down a little bit like that.'” Baldwin said that the gun “ended up being aimed right below her armpit.” “And I...

Various Tucker Carlson guests describe how our educational elites live in gated communities, have armed private security (so they don't have to dirty their hands with guns), favor open borders ("compassion" so they can have nannies for their kids going to private school away from immigrant kids, can have gardeners & servants), and despise the working people of flyover country with their guns & bibles. The "better people" favor gun confiscation, compassion for murderers, and abortion "rights".

The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms and the right to bear arms is what has really been on trial in the Kyle Rittemhouse proceedings in Kenosha, Wisconsin. His use of that “giant gun”, as the lib cable media describes his AR-15, to defend himself has been on trial, not the rioting, looting, burning and killing that has occurred in the BLM/Antifa riots that ravaged the nation in 2020’s “mostly peaceful” protests. That he successfully defended himself with that AR-15 against a less than stellar cast of pursuing attempted murderers that were part of a raging mob of...

KENOSHA, WI—As the Rittenhouse trial drew to a close, Antifa rioters were preparing their violent destruction of the city. But their plans were quickly foiled as Rittenhouse emerged from the courthouse a free man, AR-15 in hand. "The jig is up! Scatter!" cried the terrified commie waifs as they skittered toward shadowy alleyways like cockroaches. "The Rittenhouse has returned! Judgment is upon us! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Rittenhouse then appeared to descend the courthouse steps in slow motion, surrounded by a flock of doves and a heavenly golden light. At the terrifying sight, hundreds of Antifa fairies and murderous pedophiles...
