Gun Control 1: Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

[Handyman]

Guess Baldwin should have paid more attention during that Gun Safety and Marksmanship 101 class at NYU film school. Oh, wait - that’s not a real class? Maybe because that’s not the actors’ ****ing job. What next, we hold the actors accountable for doing their own stress analysis on the safety harnesses? Checking the brakes on the stunt cars? Ensuring that catering doesn’t leave the tuna salad out in the sun?

If Baldwin has any culpability here, it would just be negligence as the producer for hiring the wrong armorer. No more culpability than if a different on-set actor had pulled the trigger, in which case that actor would have zero culpability.

It was obviously Owen Hart's fault the harness broke on his stunt and he died...

Why was the hammer cocked?

Wow...you actually are this stupid. Congrats even Chuck Murray isnt this dumb. Hell Jebbers probably can out think you at this point.

I think you have had too many EMPs to the head.

Just the local DA ... they're still considering charges.

Baldwin has a multi-layer problem: he didn't check/clear the weapon; he pulled a trigger; he's the film's producer so he has final culpability to ensure processes are followed and the set is safe.

And if the claims of the camera crew that walked off set days before this horror are true, big trouble is ahead.

You need to start reading the sources you post...you are self owning all day on this one.

And again it is NOT Baldwin's job to check the weapon...in fact actors are usually told not to. That you keep pretending that isn't a fact proves you aren't here to discuss this just to troll.

The NM sheriff is reporting the weapon was a Pietta Long Colt .45.
Pietta makes reproductions (very good ones) of the 1873 original Colt .45 (aka The Peacemaker).

Why's this matter?
That firearm is single action, meaning the trigger only releases the hammer. Nothing more.

To fire a shot you first cock the hammer (first willful action) and then squeeze the trigger (second willful action).
To fire a second shot, cock hammer, squeeze trigger.

Why was the hammer cocked?

I'm going to go with, "because he intended to act like he was shooting a gun." Yes - act. That's his job. Once he decides that he's going to shoot the gun, it doesn't matter how many actions it takes. If there were 10 steps in the sequence, he would have methodically gone through all 10 - there's still only one decision being made.

Sic's concern trolling is priceless.

The fact that people continue to treat his act as being in good faith and still bother responding to him is hilarious.
