Alec Baldwin ‘Extremely Interested’ in Limiting Use of Firearms on Film Sets
Breitbart ^ | 10/31/21 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 10/31/2021 1:15:42 PM PDT by conservative98

Baldwin spoke to reporters Saturday, responding to one question by saying he is “extremely interested” in limiting the use of firearms on movie sets.

He said, “I do know that an ongoing effort to limit the use of firearms on film sets is something I’m extremely interested in.”

Baldwin then asked reporters to remember how many guns have been fired on film sets during the past 75 years and stressed that those guns were fired “mostly without incident.”

However, he added, “We have to realize that when it does go wrong, and it’s this horrible catastrophic thing, some new measures have to take place.” He went on to suggest rubber guns or plastic guns as alternatives to functional guns that normally fire blanks.

Hollywood weapons expert Bryan Carpenter responded of the Hutchins’ death and Souza’s by suggesting Baldwin ignored the number rule of gun safety.

The New York Post quoted Carpenter stressing that the No. 1 rule as, “Loaded or unloaded, a weapon never gets pointed at another human being.”

He stressed that rules of gun safety apply even on a movie set, where “you never let the muzzle of a weapon cover something you don’t intend to destroy.”

He can’t handle them so nobody else can.

“Baldwin then asked reporters to remember how many guns have been fired on film sets during the past 75 years and stressed that those guns were fired “mostly without incident.””

Not a smart statement for Alec Baldwin to make. The obvious retort is — “but then you come along and shoot and kill someone and injure another ...”

I'm sure Baldwin has been advised to shut up.

Remarkable that he hasn't.

Baldwin Creep is above the Law.

It’s more than obvious. When DAs were politicized and weaponized, this is what happens.

Screw him. He should spend the rest of his miserable life in prison.

Well, he has always been rather impulsive. And he has often displayed remarkable obtuseness.

Alec Baldwin had a chance to limit use of firearms on a film set.

I am extremely interested” in limiting the use of Alex Baldwimp on movie sets.

I am also interested in limiting Alex Baldwimp's freedom for 30-40 years.

Figures A-B would flip the script. Watch the Media follow right along with this insanity.

He had nothing to do with the young lady being killed.

Matter of fact, he wasn’t even there.

That was just someone else who looked like him.

He's dumber than I thought.

How about checking guns like you're REQUIRED to do.

If you’d all like to listen to an extremely informative and interesting conversation do this (1 hr 3 min);

They Call Us Bruce:
https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/138-they-call-us-sl-huang/id1217719299?i=1000540004398

It features SL Huang, the first female armorer in the film business. I discovered her through a very long but very informative thread on Twitter explaining how this accident should never have occurred.

Here is a summary of this podcast:

Jeff and Phil welcome mathematician and award-winning science fiction author SL Huang, who also happens to be a stuntwoman, firearms expert, and the first woman to be a professional armorer in Hollywood. They discuss her unique career, the recent tragic firearm incident on the set of Rust, the extensive procedures involved with on-set weapons safety — and how things can go wrong.

Maybe they should just follow reasonable and proper safety measures on the set instead. And how about not hiring a young and incompetent armorer because of nepotism.
