Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire least surprising news today - Alec Baldwin

He is such a dirt bag. I'm glad he lives far away from me. Maybe him and Cheney should go hunting together. One won't make it back alive.

I'm not getting it.

The gun had to be fired on purpose, by pulling the trigger.

Because an accident was eliminated, he did it purposely, he did
nothing wrong?

So if the hammer slipped from his thumb, and accidently shot her,
He would be "guilty"?

I think he portrayed the best Jack Ryan.

Someone has to figure out who killed that woman Alec Baldwin shot.

KWFA decided to stop posting his concerns about Trump, and start posting his concerns about Alec Baldwin.

LOL

Doing SNL skits 40 years into your acting career says something too.

Baldwin many times plays the evil, low-down dirtbag so well
because he is one.

I wonder how many FBI agents had to be pulled off the Bubba Wallace garage door rope noose detail to figure out that the trigger had to be pulled for the single action revolver to fire? Those guys are spread pretty thin these days what with early morning raids on former Presidents and all.

must be a slow day in the Deflave household.

I have the same pistol. Flli Pietta in .45 Colt.

At the time of the accident, I did extensive testing* with my pistol, and I proved that Alec had indeed pulled the trigger. Alec denied it in that interview with Little George Stepanophilis. The thing is, all the hosts on that show, all the producers and techs, and all the people watching are a bunch of libs who know nothing about guns, so they all believe Alec.


*testing took two minutes.

Baldwin should never have claimed the gun went off without pulling the trigger. His best defense would have been that he's not familiar with firearms, and depends on his professional staff to only give him unloaded firearms incapable of causing harm.

Same here.

Bob Marley.

Of course he pulled the trigger but what became of the nitwit that brought live ammo on set and loaded the gun?

Look at the DA in an interview from 6 months ago. She doesn't know anything about guns.

TOPLINE Santa Fe County District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies, who is overseeing the investigation into Rust shooting involving actor Alec Baldwin, told Vanity Fair Friday that her team found it was possible for a gun like the one in Baldwin’s hand to fire without pulling the trigger, potentially adding credibility to a claim he made about the shooting that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

While awaiting FBI analysis of the weapon Baldwin used, which will determine its functionality and how it could have fired, Carmack-Altwies said she and two investigators performed an “unofficial test” using a “very old type revolver” that one of her teammates owned.

Carmack-Altwies will ultimately be the one who decides whether to bring charges in the death of Hutchins; in a somewhat unusual move for an open investigation, she spoke about the case for a long feature in Vanity Fair that also included interviews with those who were involved with the production.

Carmack-Altwies said investigators on her team showed her how “you can pull the hammer back without actually pulling the trigger and without actually locking it,” mirroring what Baldwin said he did with the gun.

If the gun is pulled back “partway, it doesn’t lock, and then if you let it go, the firing pin can hit the primer of the bullet,” and fire it, Carmack-Altwies said.

The DA said she won’t know for several months if she will file criminal charges related to the shooting, though she said it’s clear that Hutchins’ death was not caused by one actor, but by a chain of mistakes and failures.

Exactly. That's the one who needs to be brought up on charges.

Agreed, a loaded pistol should have never been brought on the set but Baldwin is the dunbazz that pointed a pistol at another person and pulled the trigger. He is responsible and should face the consequences.

Boy am I glad that the FBI wasted our tax dollars to save us from another white suppremist. I feel much better now. Edk

What if the special effects director handed Clint Eastwood real dynamite, and when he lit it and tossed it at Angel Eyes' gunmen they were killed by the explosion? Eastwood goes to jail, or the special effects director?

I'm no fan of Baldwin, but he's just a stupid actor, and depends on their hired experts to keep things safe on set. He should have just owned up to pulling the trigger, but having no idea there were live rounds in the gun.
