Well, then the industry had it wrong. A real gun is always a real gun. Doesn't matter if you use for a movie prop, or a paper weight. The nature of the thing does not change to something else based on whatever changing enviroment it may be placed.
What this then demonstrates, is how some people are unable to process simple high school level logic.
But you would be wrong. Because in the eyes of the law, especially where criminal negligence is concerned, the environment and circumstances under which the disputed act takes place matters greatly. If there is any place in the real world where a firearm is not actually a firearm, as it is understood to be in the common everyday world, it would be on a Hollywood film set. But maybe that's a concept a step or two, beyond your idea is anyway, as to what it is that constitutes simple high school level logic
If anyone can be trained to be safe with a gun, so can actors. This sounds very entitled to me, that they are willing to handle a real gun, but unwilling to apply basic common gun safety rules which everyone else are required to apply.
So what are actors then? Are you saying that they're entitled spoiled brats who think they know everything and are not really as smart as you or I? Or is that just Alec Baldwin? The truth is a movie set is not so basic in comparison to the real world everyday normal working environments . You can't do all the things they do there in the real world. What goes on in your home, at a shooting range, the military, hunting lodge, the streets, or what have you, isn't really applicable. That's why they hire experts such a armorers to manage the safety issue
Funny how liberals say this. Liberal anti gun, anti NRA folks will DEMAND laws requiring a homeowner, especially one with small children, to follow required gun storage laws under threat of prosecution, especially if there is a tragedy. But then same folks will say in a case like Baldwin's: "Nope, not my job to make sure a gun is safe"
The irony..
I knew it! It was only a matter of time.
I see your true colors shining through . Now we know what you really think the problem is here. It's those damn libruls! Those leftists commies don't know how to handle a gun the same way a classical alt right manly hero like Kyle Rittenhouse does. Alec Baldwin is an anti gun, anti Trump liberal, so of course he's the guilty one. News flash it wasn't his role to make sure the gun was safe. In that setting he is just an actor. His job to act and to concentrate on that, that's why they hire people like armorers whose job is to ensure the safety and security of any guns on the set. When you're a parent you have an implicit responsibility to ensure your children's safety in the home. That means making sure that dangerous household cleaning chemicals are secured and not within reach, putting covers on wall plug circuits, etc. Not just the proper storage of firearms. Speaking of proper gun storage whatever guns are on a set are to be placed in a locked storage container that the armorer and perhaps /or a designated authorized production executive, only have the keys to unlock. Whenever the armorer is not physically present on the set those prop guns are supposed to be locked away. Not left out in the open on a cart for God knows how long.
Why wouldn't an actor WANT to be extra safe?
If they want to
extra safe the easiest, best and safest to do so is to verbally request the armorer to open and inspect the gun in front of everyone before proceeding as the actor in video suggested. Because they're the experts and know what they're looking at or for, not the actors.
Maybe we need to have our legislatures pass laws prohibiting film productions from access to real guns? How about that?
If that's what they think is needed then they go for it. Whether or not film production companies will continue to stage productions in those states is another matter however.
Not like the left doesn't try to prohibit other people from gun access, maybe they need to ban guns on movie sets?
What say you?
What I say is that there are certain other people who ought not to have access to guns should be a common sense issue we all can agree on, not a political issue to be divided on.
