    I agree on the not pointing any gun at people - shouldn't be so for props though? As for shooting game for the pot, no qualms whatsoever.

    I have nothing at all against shooting for the pot in principle, and I don't blame anyone else for doing it. I was just saying that I personally have lost the taste for it.

    you said it. there,s only one way it could have happened. he pointed the gun at her, and then he pulled the trigger.

    i would have thought a film crew using any kind of firearm would have had a safety meeting before they started, but i guess not. this is the result.

    Baldwin and the media keep referring to this tragic incident as an "accidental" discharge of a weapon.

    There are no accidental discharges of weapons.

    Only negligent ones.

    He was shooting a Western. Likely using period-correct, late 1800s, single action revolvers. One has to cock the hammer and then pull the trigger. They don't go bang on their own.

    Four rules of handling firearms:

    1. There is no such thing as an unloaded firearm. Treat every firearm as if it was loaded until you have cleared the weapon yourself.
    2. Do not point a firearm at anything unless you are willing to destroy it.
    3. Do not place you finger in the trigger housing until you are ready to pull the trigger.
    4. Be certain of your target and what's behind it.

    Sounds like Baldwin violated all four.

    One report I read said it was a blank firing prop with a sealed barrel. The round was live and so the weapon basically exploded - this caused fatality and injury to the second person. The truth will out - many cameras were filming as the incident took place.

    Let’s start a conspiracy theory. It was xxx the Director/producer/grip/other and they deliberately gave Baldwin a loaded gun so as to shoot someone for yyy reason.

    Please feel free to insert your preferred scoundrel and scandal.

    I think playing cowboys and hero’s for too long has made actors and crew too familiar with safety rules.

    Human error.
