Not saying she isn’t wrong, but it sounds like they have a patsy.

I hope she's at least well paid for her silence.

Instead of silenced for her silence...

Is it known that Alec Baldwin didn’t have an opportunity to load a live round himself?

Utter incompetence.

Utter incompetence would be her finger inside the trigger guard.

I haven't heard whether the gun was shot intentionally at the camera (and therefore the camera operator) to film the gunshot, or if Baldwin was screwing around while not being filmed. If the first, I am truly surprised that it is not a requirement to have remotely operated cameras with no one in the firing line. With video on the camera, there is no need to look through the viewfinder when filming.

Type of down the barrel view I am thinking about.

Career and life are over at age 24. Arec will make sure that she and only she is held responsible for this, and of course will present himself as the real victim. Well, after the dead gal and the guy who got wounded...

I don’t know what’s in his wallet but on the down low, he’s gonna be writing a couple of checks, one real big one.

Especially when the cinematographer observes the filming via a monitor connected to the camera.

I think Baldwin was waving the gun around playing some “joke”

They won’t be able to keep the lid on this much longer.

Easy way to murder someone and get away with it. Slip a real bullet into the gun, shoot the victim and play dumb. Police didn’t even entertain the possibility.

If an accident, he pointed a gun he had not personally checked AT people and pulled the trigger!

Fool!

“A yet-unnamed prop master who oversaw the gun used in the fatal shooting was a non-union worker who was ‘just brought in’ to replace the workers who left over safety concerns, a source involved in the movie told the New York Post.”

I would think that is the golden ticket statement with regards to the inevitable lawsuit.

“Never accept a firearm (of any type) from anyone unless the action is open.”

Years ago I was at an older friend’s home and a bunch of older guys came over. One of them had a new “bullpup” rifle. The guy was showing it off and I asked him to open the breach to show that it was empty.

He laughed at me saying “You’d think I’d carry a loaded gun around!” Didn’t open it up.

I told him that it is just the polite, and safe thing to do. Then left. I wondered if he even knew how to operate the thing? As I was leaving the other guys were handling it, still never confirming that it was empty.

They weren’t filming.

How can you handle a gun, and not check to see if it is loaded? How can you lay the unchecked gun on a table? How can you announce “cold gun” and hand it unchecked to someone? How can you not say to the actor “check the gun!”? How can you let someone point a gun at you and pull the trigger without checking the gun? How can you let someone else point the gun at people and not check the gun?

I know the answer. People aren’t taught their limitations. Stupid people are no longer told they are stupid. They are taught to despise people who are not stupid.

I’m actually a bit pleased that reality has bitten all these stupid people on their asses. Every stupid one of them.

Hollywood movie makers get to fondle full-autos.

California peon citizens do not.

They’re doing anything and everything to create as much distance and they can from a radical Leftists that hates guns and doesn’t think anyone should have one.

A radical Leftist, hypocrite that hates guns unless he can make money off of them. Then it’s ok.

If he can’t make a buck then guns are bad. If they’ll pad his bank account, guns are good.

The fact Aaric Bawrin is having a sleepless night makes me happy.

Phone calls from Julia Roberts and Sean Penn will help sooth him in his hour of I’m a manslaughterer.

You know when you’re loading a round ball into the chamber on top of the powder.

Yeah, hard to confuse a lead ball with a paper wad.
