Alec Baldwin incident

[Buckeyes11]

Besides him being liberal POS. Can someone explain why there was live rounds on a movie set. There is no such thing as an accident with firearm safety!!

[smittty]

All I can say is unbelievable. I just don’t get it

[Eyesofthewoods]

What I don’t understand is it was supposed to be a prop.  Not even a real gun remotely capable of firing a round.  Seems suspicious to me almost like someone switch it out and knew this would happen.  Just doesn’t make any sense to me.  Regardless of that for Baldwin is pot kettle meet black. lol

They are good at making up stories, that's what they do.  There has to be more to it.  They can't make a movie anymore without gun violence in it.  I think to push their liberal agenda against guns.  Karma bit them in the a**

Still under investigation but from what I’ve read, the movie is a low budget production wrought with several labor issues, prop gun protocols may not have been followed, the gun may have been a real 6-shooter and the armorer was relatively new.  Prayers to Cinematographer who was killed and Director who was injured.

It's a tragedy.  Someone died and someone else got hurt.

Normally on a movie set there is someone known as the Armorer.  Their job is to ensure weapons safety on the set.  It's possible this person wasn't doing their job.

Movie sets also uses different kinds of rounds depending on the scene they are shooting.  Some rounds produce muzzle flash and other rounds loud sounds, etc.  There is a chance that the wrong round was loaded for the type of scene they were shooting.  And, they were rehearsing, which means there shouldn't have been a round in the gun.

Regardless, someone died and it was an accident.  It's a tragedy.

As that old NRA Slogan goes. Guns don't kill people , people kill people..

I doubt Alec does the loading.  He likely knows nothing about guns other than to hypocritically make money off movies using them while advocating against even lawful ownership of them in real life.

Only two possibilities here:  a mistake was made or someone maliciously set him up.  No idea how a live round makes it anywhere near blank rounds, even accidentally.

Alec Baldwin is a total POS  but I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Horrible tragedy

[trapoholic]

This situation is not good for anyone!

[JD48]

Sad situation , but  , to bad he wasn't the one that got shot , just thinking out loud

[electricstart]

Somehow they will blame it on legal gun owners . Agreed Sad for the person who died and one that got hurt.

Couldn’t happen to a bigger douche bag waste of life. Piece of shit should be arrested and put under the jail. Never thought I coulD hate him more, then this happened.

Regardless how I feel about him, someone died ! He didn't load the fake gun, he was just doing his job of acting.

 

I'm upset that someone died , it's someone son/daughter,  father/mother.     I wish the thread  was just RIP
