If you tubers can figure out ways around it, I’m sure Hollywood can to.



Exactly! There is no reason to point it directly at a person. Any competent director/camera crew can take the angles that make it "look" legit, but maintain safety.

I wouldn't even point a gun I KNEW was empty at anyone or pull the trigger. Know two young people who were killed by empty guns in the last yr.

They weren't even filming, it was a practice run. The film crew had left 6 hours earlier.

Even less of a reason to be pointing it at anyone. There isn't a single reason why the gun should have been pointed at anyone it could have injured or killed. Practice run or not.

After hours on the set....hmmmmm. Sounds more and more like Alec was playing grabazz with guns, and most likely, alcohol. what a fu$king idiot.

I don't disagree, just stating the facts as released.

Now hold it ! A police officer trying to restrain a black guy, who dies. Floyd, and Baldwin who intentionally points a gun at people and pulls the trigger . What’s wrong here?

Take your 69 posts and shove them up your ass, idiot. Out of about 14 million movies made with guns over the last hundred years, Alec Baldwin shoots someone and you dumb [bleep] think you’re smarter than everyone who has done it.

No worries. Makes me wonder how he got a hold of the gun if the film crew had left. IE the armorer. I wonder if he got it directly from the armorer with a live round or he grabbed it himself. It will be interesting if that little nuance is revealed.

Yup. Only stupid or ignorant people do that.

I keep hearing it was one round. A 45 Colt (assuming here) could easily punch through the lady, and hit the dude behind her.

Every single bit of gun handling in the movies is “unsafe” that’s why they have prop people and stringent rules.

There obviously are a lot of questions that need answered, and who was responsible for what...but 2 people getting shot during a practice run, drops the possibility of the gun being pointed at the camera for a shot(and the 2 key employees being shot in the process).

That’s exactly happened. She was on the camera lining it up and the director was leaning over her back.

No it doesn’t. The camera work is “practice” too. In fact, it’s more than likely that the only reason they did it was to see how it would work with the camera before doing the actual take.

That's not what happened, they weren't filming.
