The lists of people you think the hammer should and shouldn't come down on is boringly predictable.
That said, I like it - I'll remind you of this rule the next time you decide that the hammer shouldn't come down on someone who should know better, with a gun.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
Umm, from what I understand, they don't use real guns on set.

A publicity stunt?
I can certainly think of worthier news stories and throw this one into the heaping pile of why guns are bad and we shouldn't own them.

Put down the crack pipe dude. Killing someone and going to prison isn' t a publicity stunt. It's manslaughter.
Fine, I'll attempt to meet you half way.
A publicity stunt gone disastrously bad. But guns are still bad and unnecessary.

I doubt he's going to be charged - and his culpability in this lies more in the fact that he's a producer than as the actor holding a prop which was prepared by the people legally responsible for that prop.
Still a good rule, though. Next time a murderous cop pulls the trigger, he owns it. Go to jail, and pay the inevitable damages out of your own pocket.
