I’ve been shooting since I was 5 years old, that’s pretty much rule number one. When someone hands you a firearm you check to see if it’s loaded or not, round in the chamber or not and what type ammo. There’s no sense shooting at paper targets with armor piercing ammo, no sense shooting long range with hollow points, etc. the armored on that movie set may have fucked up, or may have done it on purpose, regardless responsibility rests with the one that squeezes the trigger. Just because he’s a mouthy shit bag leftist actor does not alleviate his guilt in this incident. AND Hollywood has long had the policy of not pointing prop guns loaded with blanks directly at fellow actors, due to previous accidents. The cameramen adjust the camera angle to make it LOOK like the gun is aimed at the person… regardless of all that, why in the fuck did that retard Baldwin have a prop gun pointed at the film director, unless he knew it was going to wound or kill?

Stupidity and ignorance. I knew better than to do that when I was 8
Like when Dick Cheney accidentally shot his hunting partner? How many conservative red necks accidentally discharge their weapons at shooting ranges or while hunting each year? I don’t think conservatives have the market cornered on gun safety. Careless is careless regardless of political opinions.
They don't know how to work guns. Like us at 4

We do not know all of the facts and, based on Alec Baldwin's open, vitriolic disdain for Trump and his portrayal of Trump on SNL, it is unlikely that the MSM will ever tell us all of the facts it the truth is incriminating for Baldwin.
Whether or not he's legally culpable, checking the firearm you're about to handle yourself is just the responsible thing to do. He's a producer, he's got a lot of experience with firearms on sets, there had already been misfires on the set, so he definitely should have been much more careful. Though I have to wonder if it's sabotage, the crew are saying that their treatment on set was awful, so maybe someone slipped a real round into the gun. Normally their are rules about actual bullets being anywhere near prop guns, they shouldn't be anywhere near the set as a matter of policy, so how one ends up in a gun use on screen is super crazy.
His job is to act, there are other people who are supposed to do the checks. He was told he was handeling a "cold gun" he was practicing his scene and aimed the gun at the camera which I imagine is what he is supposed to do for the scene.
You can't blame him for that. I'm sure Alec Baldwin shot many fake guns in movies before and nothing ever happened.
What happened is totally a freak accident that hardly ever happens and the people responsible for it are the people hired that screwed up..
Guns experts are hired on set for the sole reason to make sure everything is ready to go and safe, not the actor.You're not the brightest, are you pumpkin?
You seem the sort of dipshit that would take a bite out every meal he serves at McDonalds to "first check it meets standards!"
Alec was onsite, in a movie scene, doing the thing.1. I am aware of gun safety, I’m not Alec Baldwin
2. You say “NRA and Conservatives know and preach these practices” as if none of them have fatal accidents
3. For the ManateeI'm just wondering how long it's going to take until there are reports of sightings of a bald guy with a bar code tattoo around the set.
Really? So you're turn this into a political shooting? What the fuck. Ok, hmmm... no right-wing Conservative has EVER been involved in an accidental shooting of ANY kind, because they're ALL members of the NRA. Like when Cheney shot someone in the face. Ok good. Thanks for clearing that up. Idiot.
Like politics had anything to do with it. It's the job of the prop personnel to make sure the equipment is safe.
He should burn in hell and prison. Stupid Irish cunt
Chamber? The whole drum was his responsibility.
Because that's the job of prop handlers on set
