I am all for not letting them earn a ****ing dime using real guns in movies while pushing an agenda to take guns away from responsible people.
Gun safety starts and ends with the person holding the gun, its not up to the gun. |

Like everything else, the operator is ultimately responsible and in this case, the operator was the person with his finger on the trigger.
#1 rule: ALWAYS assume every firearm is loaded.
#2 rule Never point a firearm at someone you don't fully intend to kill.

I had a feeling that this incident would spark some new gun laws. I blame myself for assuming that "real" guns were already banned from movie sets. So practically every time I learn something about this incident, it is getting worse. If "real" guns are used on movie sets, why aren't real gun range rules used? I have never been on a range were the person holding the gun wasn't responsible for it's use. If a gun is on the range, the person holding the gun should know if it is loaded or not AND should inspect it THEN treat it as if it were loaded. Using a real gun to point at people and pull the trigger as if it was just a toy is asking for exactly what just happened.

Must be those common sense gun laws they are always talking about.

Looks like they are finally talking about what charges can be filed and just who can be charged. I bet they are all already lawyered up.

Looks bad, Kinda like they won't cover for him? But they probably will.

To me, it reads like 'they' already are covering for him, (the writer of the article.) Focusing on who had access to the revolver, who the armorer was and who other than the shooter had access to live ammo. Everything I have read is portraying Baldwin as a victim of what someone else did (or didn't do)

I don't know but what kind of permissions do I need to go buy one of those prop guns? Seems like a lot less mess then trying to buy the real thing and end up in jail.

If it were the other way around, a member of the crew shooting Baldwin, they would be telling a very different story.
Do I remember a similar story maybe ten or twenty years ago? Was there an accidental shooting on a movie set, maybe a karate movie? Or am I confusing a different story?

The Crow.
| quote | | Actor Brandon Lee died in March 1993 after he was shot in the abdomen while filming a scene for “The Crow.” Money and safety issues, including severe burns suffered by a construction worker, already had plagued the production. A makeshift bullet was mistakenly left in a gun from a previous scene and struck Lee during a scene that called for using blank rounds. OSHA fined the production $84,000 for violations found after Lee’s death, but the fine was later reduced to $55,000. After the fatal “Rust” shooting on Thursday, an account run by Lee’s sister Shannon tweeted: “No one should ever be killed by a gun on a film set. Period.” |
