Comment on Alec Baldwin charged for shooting;

The US film industry has been operating for over a hundred years, routinely works with firearms, and yet only 3 people have died in firearms accidents that whole time.

I’m saying this for all the gun safety “experts”. I don’t care if you’re military, law enforcement, or a private gun owner, your embarrassing yourself by lecturing Hollywood’s on gun safety.

If they practiced proper firearm safety there wouldn’t have been real bullets in a gun that’s supposed to be loaded with blanks, no?

  If they had practiced actually firearm safety on the movie set, the guns would have been blank guns incapable of firing live ammunition.
  
  In fact they’d should have had no guns capable of firing live ammunition on set.
  
  All they should have had were blank firing guns and disabled firearms (e.g. firing pin removed)

    Wasnt it a barrel obstruction that was then shot out when he fired a blank with it?

    They had live ammo and live shooting non-disabled guns. The crew were using them on the incident day to shoot cans

I mean, tbf, you do not need live ammo to make a film… The other examples do need -want for the private case- so I do not think is comparable.

And yet. They clearly failed that day. To have that great a safety record before the failure really begs the question doesn’t it?
