Well, there you go. Perfect argument for gun control.

Baldwin fired the gun, be nice if the POS gets charged with accidental manslaughter. Yep. Here is verification Baldwin shot the camera woman, and the other guy. https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/woman-fatally-shot-by-prop-firearm-on-new-mexico-movie-set/Article doesn't state how it happened. That'll come out later. L.W.

I'll be interested to know exactly how that transpired. I know how firearms are SUPPOSED to be handled on set, when they are not actually being used as camera rolls. Obviously standard protocol was not being followed in this case... unless the scene was being filmed and someone in the firearms props department really screwed up.
L.W. That’s what I was wondering. Back when I was in the Wholesale Firearms Industry, I used to sell guns to Hollywood’s biggest supplier of Prop Guns. Wasn’t Bruce Lee’s son killed in the same type accident while filming a movie ? Chlinstructor, were you selling to Stembridge?? If so, did you know Larry Merrill? He and I were friends. I have shot several guns Larry used to bring out to the range. Great guy. He died several years ago. L.W.

Unacceptable ! Stembridge supplied many firearms used by SF Opera over the years .I was a #1 azzhole when we had firearms on stage and you had to be. Every carpenter, electrician and chorus member wanted to touch them. My boss was telling me about safely loading a pistol and had a discharge in the prop room . Took the pistol away from him and told him he was not allowed to handle them any longer. The crew on stage right could hear me screaming at my boss. Thank god we were not in performance mode at that moment.
Curious as to why a fireram would be pointed at the DP and the Director and fired.

Reckless homicide sounds better to me. I don't seen anything "involuntary" about it.

How does prop gun shoot real bullets? We’re they supposed to be blanks? Someone explain please
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Did Baldwin do something outside his blocking? The stupid chkunt was still responsible for inspecting the weapon, AFAIC. We all are. What makes him any different?

Someone explain please Yes, please.Supposed it was a revolver, if the chambers of the cylinder were shortened incide to leave no space for real ammo but only for short blanks and the barrels would have a blocking system firing live ammo from a prop gun could be prevented. But if there are parts getting loose by continually use it might be possible that these parts would act like a projectile at least at short distances. AFIK "propguns" like the M29 used by Clint Eastwood in the Dirty Harry movies was and still is a real gun with which you may also use life ammo.

Reminds me of the son of Bruce Lee, Brandon Lee, who was “accidentally” killed on the set of the movie “The Crow” in the early 1990’s. Live rounds in a .44 magnum revolver, supposedly

Two dead, you'd think the first shot would indicate something wrong.

Lots about this doesn't pass the smell test. But bottom line, if you are holding a gun you are responsible for knowing, not suspecting but KNOWING, exactly what you are holding.

I just read about Brandon Lee on Wikipedia. They’d put in live rounds with no powder for a closeup of the 629 they were using. Somehow, one of those was fired, lodging a Bullet in the barrel. In the actual scene, an actor shot Brandon with a blank, which drove the wedged Bullet into his abdomen. 7mm

Huh, I'll wait until more is released. Seems like an unfortunate accident that shouldn't have happened. I would hope there are protocols in place but something seems fishy. I guess we'll see
No we won’t.

From the sound of it, maybe Baldwin was playing around with a gun? If that’s the case, he should be held responsible. Any firearms owner, even new owners, should have the sense that this is a dangerous weapon unless you have some common sense and a little training. Nobody hands a new shooter a gun and says “here you go. Go nuts!” If not Baldwin then I would say whoever is responsible for the firearms on the show. There’s gotta be accountability somewhere. Hopefully we’ll get the whole story. 7mm

Breitbart story says baldwin cocked it and pulled the trigger. Had live rounds in it. A total and complete moron. Ignored every safety rule ever. He needs to be hung now.
