He ignored the most important safety rule of handling firearms and that is to first determine if the weapon is loaded.

F Baldwin and anyone who attempts to blame anyone other than Baldwin.

Round and round the rosy. Again.

Yes. Baldwin is at fault. But knowing the industry, and what safety measures that have been used for 100 years in that industry, he isn't the only one at fault.

Some of you guys sure do confuse what is OUR reality of gun safety, and THEIR make believe world of theatrics.

To put actors "in charge of their own firearm safety" is like putting kindergartners in charge of getting across the busy highway on their own...



Are you saying that an adult actor (and thus a person too dumb to know when they're in over their head) isn't completely to blame for their screw ups, just because they got in over their head?
Baldwin may have the intelligence of a kindergartner when it comes to politics and gun control but that doesn't relieve him of personal responsibility, in my world at least. He's an adult, not a kindergartner and is experienced in these kinds of films. He made his own decision. That irresponsible decision (or decisions in this situation...from the sounds of it) can't be blamed on others due to his lack of intelligence, politics or otherwise or his "make believe world of theatrics".

Criticize the others on set who failed to do their jobs...no one here is saying not to, but nobody but Baldwin pulled the trigger and that makes him ultimately responsible.
