[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that there was a serious problem with safety on that set and Alec and the armorer were both responsible to a degree for the safety, and Alec was certainly responsible for pulling the trigger.

The reason why there is even an armored is because there is a consensus that having a gun, even with dummy bullets or blacks, is hugely risky on a set. If it wasn’t there would be no need for safety protocol. The safety protocol protects everyone, not just a potential victim that is shot. It also protects the bystanders and the gun holder too! It is risky to be handling a gun, loaded or not, just because it is inherently a killing machine and weapon. An actor/actress puts themselves at risk of injuring and killing some one when they handle a gun. Again, hence the reason for an armorer and safety protocols.

What happened here is that those safety protocols were not revered to a T and the consequence is on everyone. A women is dead, someone else suffered an injury, someone else killed someone (it doesn’t matter what you call it in the court of law he killed her, accident or not). This was all avoidable.

An firearm verified to be unloaded essentially is a paperweight, and no more a weapon or “killing machine” than a heavy ashtray. [/quote]
