Well but, if the director tells you to point the gun at the camera and pull the trigger, are you supposed to say "no" because it's not good gun safety?

Hey Alec, for this scene we need you to take this here prop gun and shoot it at the enemy over there, OK? - No, sorry. No can do. That could be a real gun with live ammunition. |

And it’s unclear to me that that’s what happened except in the imaginations of a couple of commenters in this thread. Is that what actually happened?

I'm pretty sure all the John Wick movies would have sucked if Keanu did this.

It sounds like there are "real" guns loaded with blanks being fired all day every day on studio sets. Gonna guess they aren't all being fired while pointing at down-range targets. Assuming Baldwin was using this gun in the filming of a scene, and not just goofing off with it on his own, it seems hard to imagine holding him responsible in any way. Also, his personal political beliefs about guns have nothing to do with his willingness to use them on set. |

This reminds me of a story my dad told me when he played trumpet in his high school's orchestra. They were playing an easier arrangement of the 1812 Overture, but the director nevertheless wanted to have a cannon. He came up with a solution where the percussionist (back in the 60s when you could do this kind of thing) would fire a shotgun blank into a sandbox. Worked like a charm and provided a suitable enough effect.
Well, the shotgun had been used over the weekend and returned to the school for the Monday evening concert. Nobody bothered to check if the shotgun was empty. So the big moment in the music happens... the student aims at the sandbox... ...and blasts a hole right through the damn stage! |

I don’t know what a John Wick movie is, but Keanu’s acting is usually as far as one needs to look for a reason something sucks.

The John Wick movies are great, for the record. Keanu doesn't exactly have the greatest acting range, but he plays the stoic badass well.
