Lack of Gun Safety on the Set

Uber · Oct 23, 2021

Alec Baldwin shot and fatally killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust". Director Joel Souza was also shot. The story is all over the news.

Here's a link that comments on gun safety. PJ Media Link on Alec Baldwin and the shooting on "Rust"

Being an NRA instructor, it amazes me the disregard of safety required for this "accident."

I work in the entertainment industry (live events, but have friends in Theatre and Film). In professional settings, firearms are treated with the caution and respect one might expect. A lot of steps had to be skipped for this to happen.

To make a long story short- Anti gun zealot Alec Baldwin violated all four of the most important rules of gun safety.
As of now, specific details are vague. The facts are that he pointed a loaded/real gun at coworkers on a movie set and pulled the trigger- killing one and injuring another. It is surmised that he thought the gun was unloaded or loaded with blanks. Needless to say, he pointed a gun at a person and pulled the trigger. I hope Hollywood protocols don't condone this- regardless whether the gun was "hot" or "cold".
