[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He said he pulled the hammer back and when he let it go, it fired. Well, duh. [/quote]

I don't know a lot about guns, but I don't think that's how guns are supposed to work.[/quote]

Yeah obviously not.  A hammer is not a trigger. [/quote]

The trigger pulls the hammer back, then releases it. He didn’t pull the trigger, he actually pulled the thing the trigger controls, bypassing the trigger. That is exactly how this type of gun is supposed to work….[/quote]

Okay.  As I said, I don't know a lot about guns.   So you're saying the director and/or scriptwriter is at fault?  For telling the actor to pull the hammer back and let it go?[/quote]

No one told him to pull the hammer back. He doesn’t know much about guns, so probably didn’t know it would fire. 
It’s the same type of gun you see in old west movies (that’s what they were filming). If you’ve seen any of those, there’s always a scene where someone pulls the hammer back (cocks the gun) to show they’re serious. That means the gun is ready to fire as soon as you pull the trigger (which releases the hammer). He says he released the hammer manually and the gun went off. Well that’s what it’s supposed to do.

If he just said, the gun was not supposed to be loaded and I had no idea it would fire, it’s a tragedy and I feel horrible, etc. people would accept that answer. It’s the “anyone’s fault but mine” that’s getting old. [/quote]

You can feel that it's getting old.  I suppose now you blame him, because his wife posts selfies.

He's been named in several law suits.  I don't know how his liability insurance is structured, but on top of the grief and guilt, he gets to deal with that too.  [/quote]

I blame him because he pointed a gun at someone without checking, shot and killed a Woman. He is not blameless and is trying to blame anyone but him, including an object he was in control of. He’s not 100% at fault, but not 0. [/quote]
