If you have a functional firearm or one you aren’t positive isn’t functional in your hand you are responsible for making sure it is safe. If that isn’t part of Hollywood’s practices then they’re all idiots. This accident would have been easily prevented by simply checking if the fucking thing was loaded. It was a revolver for fucks sake that takes 2 seconds.
It is part of Hollywoods practices but not for the actor. There are so many checks that should happen long before it gets in the actors hands. You can call them all idiots if you want, it’d be more accurate than placing the blame on ALEC Baldwin specifically.
The last check should be the actor themselves. It’s a simple procedure anyone handling one should know how to do. Especially on a revolver. He claims he went through a safety instruction at the start of filming this movie. If that were true he should know all this. The gun was in his hand and pointed at someone when it went off. He’s responsible.
I’m sorry but he’s just not responsible, and your personal beliefs on gun safety aren’t enough to change the fact that he acted in a way consistent with the industry and his peers. Your personal opinion on gun safety doesn’t outweigh the U.S. justice system’s which has not convicted him of any wrong doing. I understand that you don’t like his political beliefs and you’d like to see him punished on that merit alone and will ignore the reality of the situation in order to apply your own made-up rules of responsibility onto him alone, but realistically speaking, he’s ultimately not at fault.
If I hear of anyone else accidentally shooting someone I’d have the same opinion towards them regardless of their politics. I don’t care about his political beliefs at all. I probably agree with him on a lot of shit. It has no bearing on this situation. Honestly it’s starting to sound like his political beliefs are why you’re defending him so adamantly as this is the second time you’ve brought them up unprompted. I’m not making up rules. Pretty much everyone agrees on how guns should be handled safely. I don’t care what the government says. You cannot dispute the fact that if he and anyone else handling that gun had checked it properly the woman would still be alive.
Your opinion being politically motivated is just the most logical conclusion anyone can make, since it’s not based on the facts of the matter or the reality of the situation. There were so many grossly negligent acts committed on that set that didn’t involve Alec Baldwin that go largely ignored by you and others who share your opinion, that the chance that you are making an honest, objective judgement of the situation are slim to none.
The last check should NEVER BE ANYBODY BUT THE ARMORER. The ONLY CHECK should be the armorer.
Exactly one person in the chain of custody.
This is how Hollywood works. Doing your dumb shit would get you fired and stripped of your union membership at best
Learn how things work in the adult world before talking with authority about something you have zero knowledge of. Your dumbass redneck “gun safety” doesn’t work and will never work for guns that need to be handled on a film set.
What dumb shit? Making sure the gun they’re holding isn’t actually loaded? Literally everyone (except hollywood apparantly) agrees on the basics of gun safety because they DO work. If he’d done that this woman would be alive. Clearly hollywood’s practice’s aren’t idiot proof.
If the actor does anything with the gun that isn’t in the script and performed while the camera is rolling, the entire set is cleared and the weapons need to be recertified before the set is called safe again.
Literally everyone in Hollywood and the firearms industry agrees these are the basics of gun safety on a live set. But dumbasses who took a gun safety class from redneck Joe at the Y think they know what’s best in every situation.

What have I said that was not factual? If he had checked the fucking gun then he would have found live rounds in it and not fired them into people.

Better they have to shut the set down than someone end up dead. Like what actually happened.
