[QUOTE="spiritfilledjm, post: 76317457, member: 185233"] As the rest of my post stated, there are simple idiot-proof rules that anyone who is handling a firearm is supposed to follow. As soon as the firearm is given to another, the one who takes the firearm is responsible for it, including ensuring that it is loaded correctly, with the correct rounds, and in good working order. Hollywood may hire people that are supposed to do this themselves, but the one ultimately responsible for the weapon at the point discharge occurs is the one holding the firearm. The fact that Baldwin even discharged the firearm directly at a camera with people behind it is a gross negligence of gun safety. The biggest change that needs to happen is that a gun, loaded with a blank or not, should not be discharged if another person is in the way. This includes if somebody else is supposed to be shot in the scene. It is 2021, we have the capability of editing things into film and pictures making it look exactly like the real thing with the naked eye. I mean, the PS5 even has a motorcycle racing game that looks so real one can't even tell that it is a videogame or real. The legal blame lies on the whole production overall due to the gun safety standards on a set, but in all reality, the blame truly does lie on Baldwin. He was holding the weapon, didn't check it himself, and fired it at a camera with people behind it. I don't say this to deride Baldwin or anything, it's just simple gun safety facts and if this was anything other than a Hollywood set, there would be charges filed against Baldwin. [/QUOTE]
