Yes, I do feel that it was his fault, despite using "blanks".
I wouldn't have put myself into the position to "shoot" at someone anyhow, whether on a movie set or not. I'd of refused that job/role/whatever, but that is beside the point. That individual who shot Brandon Lee didn't refuse to do so, and the consequence is history. If the blanks used in The Crow were defective then the ammunition company who produced them may have some liability, just like some other parties in the Baldwin SNAFU do, but it doesn't change who I feel is ultimately responsible.
I am not going to believe that any actor---no matter how low budget the film is---doesn't get some sort of firearm training if their role calls for using guns. Even if they don't (which I will NOT believe), they're still responsible for what they shoot in my opinion. Incompetent armorers and producers be damned.
