Are people arguing the armorer, who left live ammunition in a gun, ISN'T responsible for the accident?? I don't understand who or what he's arguing against
Army dude gave his take on the topic. Random person replied questioning his qualifications to talk about the subject. Army dude explained why he was qualified; he has indeed taken a weapon safety class, he’s led an entire squadron in armed combat. That’s the “don’t you know who I am”.
Regardless of the failure of physical controls, no one seems to be noting that safety training is also not Baldwin's responsibility.
I certainly don't look at a rich old hyperlib and think "Yeah, he knows this 'prop gun' is just an actual gun." I don't look at Baldwin and even think "He knows not to point this at something he isn't willing to destroy."
I wouldn't assume he knows a single thing about guns I didn't directly tell him and have him repeat back to me.
What armorer?
Alec Baldwin, as producer for the show in question, conducted that shoot without one on the set.
Thus why Baldwin is the one at fault for the shooting - and, funny enough, NOT because he was the one holding the trigger at the time it happened.
...what are you talking about? There was an armorer, Hannah Gutierrez, and she's being charged.
Something's strange; because last time I looked into the issue, there was definitely some note about a previous armorer on the crew being fired or not brought to the set on that day. Currently, I admit I'm unable to locate a source on that, but I can't imagine I was remembering that from nothing.
While you may not be remembering it from nothing, you were obviously misinformed. This is easily verifiable.
