Alec Baldwin Shooting

[Spongebob]

More like one in six you negligent prick....



Edit to add


You know the difference between me an the anti gun people?

The anti- gun people trust other people to make life/ death decisions for them. They actually believe that Mr Baldwin is innocent of any wrongdoing because someone told him it was OK to point a gun at someone and pull the trigger.

I wouldn' t.

I would check the gun to see what is in it. Yes- I know the difference between live rounds, blanks and dummy loads - and know the reasons why each would be used. Yes - I know how to load a revolver - any revolver - single action, double action or striker action. (As in a Chiappas Rhino). I also know how to stage the cylinder to have the desired cartridge in battery when cocking. I could do it all blindfolded. Literally.

I also would not point the gun at someone when pulling the trigger. I would point the gun at something just to the left or right of the targeted person. You would not be able to tell that I wasn' t dead on target.

Why?


So I wouldn't " accidentally" kill someone like Mr Baldwin did.

There are no accidents with guns

Only negligence.

If you don' t KNOW how to use them - put the motherfucker down!

I agree with your sentiment, if not your delivery.  I think you're being a bit too pejorative.  However, it's clear that the root cause of this death is the overall attitude and approach that this production team took with firearms, and perhaps the entire industry.  There are too many moving parts and possible loose ends for anyone to be sure that using a gun on set wouldn't result in injury.  The right approach is to eliminate as many of those as humanly possible and that clearly was not done and I believe everyone involved in the production is at fault.  Baldwyn appears to be the focal point because he's the one who pulled the trigger, but the line of fault only ends with him.  I can't be sure that had he inspected the weapon, he would have recognized the danger, and that's the reason I say the entire approach is flawed.  I hope for the sake of the industry that this event isn't just written off as a fluke and wholesale improvements are made, but that might be a pipe dream.
