It is the ultimate responsibility of the person with the gun in their hand. This incident is proof of that. There is plenty of blame to go around, but the actor doesn’t get a free pass by blaming someone else. If Baldwin practiced the most basic of gun safety the woman would be alive. Saying that he doesn’t have the ultimate responsibility is irresponsible on its face.
A movie set is the exception.
The armourer is responsible.
Visualize a class of kindergarten kids.... That's what the actors are. The armourer is the teacher, and responsible for all of them. You cannot expect actors to know the first thing about gun safety. Just as you can't expect kindergartners to cross a busy highway by themselves.
Pretty good explanation and analogy, Barry.
