We don’t need more common sense gun control, not even on movie sets. What we need is to hold those accountable who recklessly endanger and injure or kill others with any kind of dangerous tool. The set managers and staff were not practicing safety. It is a tragic accident but could have easily been avoided without legislation if the movie staff were trained and following protocols.
Can't remember if it was in this long thread or elsewhere on the internet, but someone pointed out that while guns are mass produced, replica guns purpose built to fire only prop blanks and never bullets are one off art pieces, and cost accordingly. Using a real gun with prop blanks was probably a budget decision, or maybe a consequence of him running the experienced union crew off the set earlier that day.
Imagine how he has to waste a whole lot of his precious time now trying to find someone to blame it on.
She was apparently planning to do a documentary on child sex abuse
2. Why was he shooting at "director of photography" who is not an actor?

Booger saysWhy would there be any live ammo on a movie set?
Stupidity and (possibly) nepotism:The BBC has obtained a document showing which crew members were listed as scheduled to be on set that day.
It names a head armourer, the crew member responsible for checking firearms. Hannah Gutierrez Reed is in her twenties and had recently worked in this role for the first time, on the movie The Old Way.
In a podcast in September she said she almost turned down that job "'cause I wasn't sure if I was ready... but doing it, like, it went really smoothly".

that has to be intergalactic stupidity then

Alec Baldwin arrested for first-degree murder and possession of child pornography – media blackout
This for real?
This for real?
Don't think so.
For all we know it was her first time as an armorer.
I've been around reckless gun owners. Fortunately when I hang with those guys one of them is a former Army guy. The other guys would leave loaded handguns out on the coffee table at the one guys house. My buddy always clears the chamber and removes all bullets first thing. He's always saying those guys are fucking idiots with their guns,
Now that Google and Facebook have killed all real journalism by sucking away the revenue, we simply cannot know the truth.
It doesn't take that much experience or skill to fill a barrel up with molten aluminum and metal. Hell, you can just remove the firing pin if you want to be cheap.
I never took a gun training course, and I ought to.
In addition to all the usual safety protocols, I'd suggest welding in a small ring that fits inside the barrel near the breech. The ring would allow gasses to pass through the barrel but would be close enough to the breech that it would prevent a full-length cartridge (with bullet protruding from the end) from being fully inserted and bolt locked.
Concealed carry course. I took one here in TX and it was quite useful. First rule they teach, which Baldwin broke, is to not point gun, even if it is empty, at anything/anyone you are not ready to shoot.
If he was fucking around on set, pointing a gun as a "joke", he should be tried for manslaughter, at minimum.
