Cool thing is that he wasn't just an actor on set, he was a producer as well. Which entails more responsibility.

What exactly do you mean? He's an actor. My point is that that doesn't absolve you of firearm safety

Alec wasn't filming at the time. Keanu went through actual training to handle firearms on screen which I think should be the minimum. The fact that Keanu made 4 movies in that series without killing anyone proves it can be done safely. In the circumstances of filming I would be unreasonable to expect every one of the 4 rules to be followed at all times, but breaking every single one of those rules all at once should not happen. The bare minimum that Alec can and should've done is inspect the gun to see if it's loaded, and that it's loaded with "safe" rounds. I mean that's the first thing I do!

Also I own several guns, try not to make assumptions.

No major gun incidents for decades in the film industry! Since Brendon lee. Alec made the first major fuckup since then and killed someone with a live round and Noone sees anything wrong with that.

I'm not saying other people didn't fuck up and deserve punishment aka the armorer, but Alec also deserves to answer for it

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Alec Baldwin is guilty of at least negligence with a firearm, although I'd go for manslaughter.

Being an actor doesn't absolve you of all responsibility. Anyone else who accidentally kills someone else get charged with manslaughter. The fact that the public doesn't see this obvious fact proves the stranglehold the rich have on American ideals. In any other professional job if I killed someone accidentally, whether it be with a gun, a car, or my own two hands, I would expect to atleast get tried for it.

That and Mr Baldwin straight up LIED about how it even happened. He told a story of the gun firing itself that several firearms experts, including the agency that was investigating, all said is impossible on the model of firearm he had. Yet everyone believes he shouldn't be charged.

If you had nothing to worry about, you wouldn't lie. He lied because he knows he didn't do his job.

Well they did a good job convincing the public that the person holding the gun isn't responsible for what happens with said gun, considering the down votes. Happened last time I said he needs to be punished for what he did.

Gun safety is only important if you're not rich/famous/ an actor
