[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ETA my sentiment about checking a weapon is not to hold Baldwin culpable--just to say that in situations like this, gun safety should be everyone's priority, not just the armorer, because clearly mistakes are made.[/quote]

By this logic, an actor about to drive a car on a movie set should also check the engine before starting the car.[/quote]

Not really.  A gun is used to shoot things such that they are killed or maimed or incapacitated.  Any reasonably cogent and sentient person knows that you don't point a gun, loaded or unloaded, at another person or live being unless you are intending to kill, maim or incapacitate them.  Yet Alec Baldwin did.  That's a problem.  He was holding the gun and he squeezed the trigger while pointing the gun at people.  He, and he alone, is responsible for that.[/quote]

It's not clear that Baldwin pointed the gun at anyone or if it misfired and shot something in an unpredictable direction.  [/quote]

Misfiring doesn’t mean “it just went off when I touched it”[/quote]
