Needs a poll of how many think he'll get a slap on the wrist/pay a fine or do 7 years for negligent manslaughter.

I most likely own more guns than Baldwin and yet I've never killed anyone.

Quoted: Needs a poll of how many think he'll get a slap on the wrist/pay a fine or do 7 years for negligent manslaughter. View Quote We're still missing facts A prop master hands an actor a prop gun to complete a scene, the actor fully expects the prop gun to function as intended and has no intent to cause any harm. As soon as the scene is over, from what I hear these actors immediately hand the prop gun back to the prop master. There is no reason to charge the actor with anything. I would say that the prop master is the one who is looking at some form of civil penalties if it can be shown that they didn't exercise due diligence in making sure the gun was functioning as intended. |

There's a ripe opportunity for a t shirt business with this.
"Alec Baldwin has killed more people than" And finish with whatever. My AR15 My AK47 My FAL My Beretta All of my guns 99.99% of Gun Owners |

I personally haven't but I have no doubt some of my guns have killed more people than Baldwin. Just depends on what kind of guns you own.

I am sure non-gun-aware Alec and his anti-gun pals will scream for more gun control…just so this type of thing can’t happen again.
Whereas, any gun-knowledgeable person would have at least tried to double-check that the rounds and techniques in use were sound. I would have fired the prop gun against a wall beforehand to see if it at least seemed safe to fire it at a person and used offset aiming (undetectable depending on camera angle) if possible to avoid a direct shot at/into a person. Then again, if he was horsing around off-camera with a gun, well, there you go. Alas, standby for more regulations generated by people who have no idea about what they are (unsuccessfully) regulating. |

Alec is a narcissist. I see him getting on his anti gun high horse in some kooky attempt to make restitution for his accident.
"See what can happen even under controlled circumstances supervised by professionals". So none of us flyovers have the smarts to safely handle one of those death machines. |

View Quote legal issues aside, perhaps if actors who were going to handle guns, even though they are props, learned to shoot and handle guns safety they'd be more safe. I know if I were an actor, knowing what I know as a shooter, I'd never do what you said. I'd check everything myself before I pointed a "prop" gun at anyone. |

Quoted: Is this the Baldwin that is married to a lady from Spain? View Quote She isnt from Spain... She made it all up. She is goofier than he is. Must be a better actor too, as she had everyone convinced. Hilaria Baldwin Alec Baldwin's wife, who's accused of pretending to be from Spain, said her "deep connection to two cultures could have been better explained." Hilaria Baldwin returned to social media this week after a monthlong hiatus in an effort she said to clear up allegations that she'd appropriated elements of Spanish heritage. |

Alec Baldwin is a dick, but we don't even fully have the details... There is a lot of rumor and speculation. Right now some of us are acting like BLM rush to judgement type folks.
My questions are. 1. What really happened? Live rounds? or what? I thought prop guns were supposed to be made so that they could not fire or chamber live ammo. IF not, they damn sure should be. 2. How was more than one person injured? When the firearm was fired did a (Legit or accidental/malfunction) projectile pass through the first victim, killing them, then enter the second victim sending them to the hospital? Was it Buck Shot, heard it was a western movie and often time they use shotguns. Or did he fire a 2nd time hitting the 2nd victim??? The guy in charge of prop weapons needs different policies and procedures in place to prevent shit like this from happening. |

I hate anti- gunners with a passion.
I fell sorry for the guy though - he took a life and it was not supposed to happen. His mind is blown. Hollyweird needs to correct their methods in dealing with prop guns and blanks. Apparently their experts are not so expert. This is at least 2 people who died from prop guns and blanks. Maybe a 30 day waiting period for Hollyweird before touching the prop gun from time of application for using a prop gun and use the time for 30 days of training prior to even touching a prop gun. Training must be within 60 days of touching the gun for the show or movie for the first time. Training must be reaccomplished for each project and cannot carryover from one movie to the next. |
