He's handled them in films enough to know.

He was handed a gun, he was told it was safe, it was an operational gun, he pointed it at someone and pulled the trigger. . . . What crucial distinction do you see? I don't think your observation about separating a film prop from 'reality' settles the way you'd like to think. Reality is this was a real gun that really killed someone. That reality doesn't go away.

Yeah. Seems like, if Baldwin is going to get blame here (if the story stays as it is), then actors should get firearm training as part of taking on roles like this so they are at least equipped to handle a weapon and check for issues like this.

There is a huge difference in the setting of where these guns were being handled and how live ammunition is suppose to be prohibited on set, according to people working in Hollywood chiming in on this matter. Pretty damn good odds Alec Baldwin isn't charged with anything and it has nothing to ****ing do with his celebrity status. |

BTW, for those of you think it is some how difficult to tell the difference between live and blank rounds -

But, at the end of the day when the gun went off, it was in Baldwin's hand. Nothing you can say or point to changes that fact. As an individual who owns and carries firearms I can tell you that any gun I am holding in my hands I am ultimately responsible for, even if it isn't even my gun. Consider it a sort of take on possession being 9/10ths the law.

If you're referring to the rumor that he was joking about doing another take, that's fake. From the LA Times article that was posted earlier, it happened while the crew was setting up the shot, and he was rehearsing pulling the gun out of the holster.
