What a hypocrite, as so many in hollywood. Against guns yet makes movies using guns. He should of taken a gun safety course.

Those are the rules of the job site. They have protocols in place. If some idiot actor loaded a gun with something he brought from home in his pocket replacing the usually very competent judgment of the armorer then that could create all kinds of problems.

Given how many movies have scenes with guns being fired in them, Hollywood does a very good job with the protocols they use.

In this Alec Baldwin accident we have an incompetent armorer from the looks of it.

Hate for Alec Baldwin keeps coming up on Talk of the Villages.

But it does not change personal responsibility.

"Rules" do not change The Law.

Alec Baldwin Has Frequently Spoken Out Against NRA, Guns Rights Activists

Alec Baldwin played it very safe on movie sets when around guns. Again this is a work site with rules that are supposed to be followed and which usually work given the very low number of gun accidents in Hollywood history.

Yes. This is an ironic tragedy. Baldwin has been an activist against the NRA, an organization that stresses and provides gun safety instruction.

Blanks don't have much power after about 5 feet. For a blank to go through one person and into another person is not very likely to happen.
IT WAS A REAL BULLET!!!

AND yet he has a CCW???

Alec Baldwin was the co-producer and will eventually pay out millions of dollars to the family if they decide to sue. If the claims of workers quitting over safety issues were true then that will make the eventual settlement or judgement even more substantial.

If the liberal icon wasn't such a total jerk I would have some sympathy for him.

Alec Baldwin just got into his THIRD angry confrontation today -- screaming at a female reporter, demanding cops arrest her ... and then hitting a parked car while trying to drive away.

Whaaaat??? Blanks?! Everyone's been saying a "loaded gun" and talking about how it was loaded with bullets.

If blanks are so dangerous then Baldwin should know that, as he's worked in movies and TV a long time. At least he should know enough not to point it at someone at close range and then pull the trigger.

Alec Baldwin shooting: Assistant director on 'Rust' was subject of complaints dating back to 2019 - CNN

It looks like it was a live round. Probably from a Colt Peacemaker like pistol.

Hmmm, that sounds suspicious. Of course they would know if there was a bullet wound. Also, would a blank kill someone and then have the force to strike another person and injure them also?

Basic firearms safety rule.. Treat all firearms as if they were loaded. This was so easy to verify being that it was a revolver. You can easily see the end of the shell at the end of the cylinder. A blank and an active round are easily differentiated. The ball was dropped by each person who handled that gun. This should be treated as negligent homicide. There is no excuse for this type of mistake.

[Petersweeney]

Hillaria did it to get rid of him….

[bgamble3]

Baldwin appears to be responsible for negligent homicide. The justice system should be allowed to do it's job, and once all the facts are presented, then we can comment.
