Fixed the above sentence by removing the word "prop".

If true (I don't see that in the article you posted) it's completely irrelevant. Baldwin's own words during filming indicate he knew the gun could shoot and was dangerous. The fact that he indeed shot someone proves that, of course. If you are arguing that he didn't pull the trigger and the gun malfunctioned, that simply doesn't happen.
It is not his job on a movie set to check to see if the weapon has real bullets. And given the
trauma of the event I would think his memory would not be all that good if he had pulled the trigger. Or not.

This is on a MOVIE SET not gun range. And he does not seem to be a big fan of shooting guns.

And from what I understand this is an old gun which could fire given the right circumstances. Alec Baldwin could have fired Rust gun without using trigger
