RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SAFETY WITH FIREARMS AND USE OF "BLANK AMMUNITION"
BLANKS CAN KILL. TREAT ALL FIREARMS AS THOUGH THEY ARE LOADED.
"LIVE AMMUNITION" IS NEVER TO BE USED NOR BROUGHT ONTO ANY STUDIO LOT OR STAGE.
These guidelines are intended to give recommendations on the safe handling, use, and storage of firearms. Firearms include prop guns, rubber guns, plastic guns, non-guns, flintlock guns, pistols, machine guns, rifles, and shotguns that shoot "Blank Ammunition."

He killed a Russian spy.
This goes WAY, WAY deeper than you are even considering.
I know right, if it was a prop weapon then how did it fire a live round? Surely the barrel would be blocked or the working parts deactivated?
I've actually done a lot of background work in film/television and have actually used their guns and props on occasion. The idea that the props department would give Baldwin a loaded weapon is beyond absurd. Those sets are run like the military. Everything is double and triple checked. There are millions of ridiculous rules to keep everyone safe.
I used to watch the show Talking Dead (recap show that came on after the Walking Dead) and they always had a segment that was a recap of "This is how we shot that scene" which was usually pretty hairy in the story, but a very slow process to actually piece together in part for safety issues. You are right, something about this smells. (My firm does a lot of insurance for this industry and this is all fully underwritten ahead of time. Anything potentially dangerous is going to be looked at carefully.)
I don't think it is just coincidence that Alec Baldwin was involved given he "played" DJT on SNL.
Whilst I have no experience on film sets etc, I too find it nearly impossible he would have had a weapon which actually worked. I served in the Army so understand weapons and weapon safety, something seems off with this whole episode imo. Maybe we will find out more in the next few days. Thanks for your insight.
One more question;
What do they do for hearing protection?
Aren't "just blanks" still about as loud as a gunshot?
Even if they aren't quite as loud, they've got to still be loud enough to damage hearing...
So how is hearing protection handled on movie sets for actors & bystanders?
Never seen any movies where the actors are wearing ear plugs, let alone muffs....
Really?
They're run THAT tight?
That's good to hear; that's how it SHOULD be, both because guns aren't toys but especially also because of how guns are used in movies; shooting at / towards / near people, etc.
This is a limited hangout and brigaded post. Gun Safety? lol
Most actors are assets
Look at a Jennifer Garner
Now, she's an asset with assets!!!!
Wait...what? Alias is a documentary?

Ben Affleck was also formally an agent.
I can't remember who said it, but it burned into my brain "national treasures, are national assets" said about celebrities. Literally very few people get famous, or at least lasting fame, without being controlled by intelligence agencies.
"The Culture War" waged against the USSR, wasn't to fight the USSR it was to take over America. They thought we'd follow the stars.
That’s kind of blowing my mind actually.
tell us what you think, Ian
Brandon Lee was shot during an active set while filming. What’s Alec’s excuse for pointing and shooting at her and the director? Furthermore why the second shot after seeing you just shot someone? Shoot and see you hit someone then take time to aim and shoot at someone else? Super sketch.
Maybe someone accidentally said his sleeper command word.
Nothing phases me anymore.
Why would you take anything about this story at face value? Are you a shill? A normie? Do you glow? With all we have witnessed over the last 5 years at least, for some of us many more years than that, you believe this story? How often have there been similar "accidents" such as this?
This whole story stinks. There is way more to it than what we are being fed by the liars in the media. Take nothing at face value. If you do you are falling into the trap.
I hope he gets sent to pound him in the ass jail. That would be the proper end result.
I used to be an actor in the NYC area and I've done a ton of background work in film/television. Those sets are run like the military. I don't have a conspiracy theory cooked up for this Baldwin story but I find it absolutely impossible that a loaded weapon would find it's way into Alec Baldwin's hand via the prop department. And then he happens to be pointing it at someone when he happens to pull the trigger the first time? And then he pulls the trigger again and accidentally hits someone else? This is a nonsense story.
He's been in the business for 10 years. He's done plenty of other movies with firearms. Now he's blaming it on someone else.
He's an ultra Left wing, rich liberal.
Nothing will happen to him.
What did he do? I dont read news anymore.
Killed someone working the set at one of his movies, injured another
"Accidental discharge" that apparently happened twice, while the gun was pointed at 2 people

I mean the very least manslaughter... Consider this:
https://greatawakening.win/p/13zzHi75jJ/alec-baldwin-murdered-an-underco/
Yep, it’s basic safety!
I remember when Spielberg was tried for manslaughter, negligent homicide or something else as serious when the helicopter pilot killed those 2 children and Vic Morrow. He wasn’t even physically involved but they said “his fault” because he was in charge of production. Alec “Big Mouth” Baldwin will walk!🤬
That was John Landis.
No it's okay dude, he feels really bad about it, and he already apologized.
How does a person accidentally shoot 2 people?
Throw him in jail.
This was a hit.
Here's what the narrative will be:
They hire weapon experts and use quarter loads,half loads,and full loads as props for strictly the sound effect and recoil.
Union workers quit the day before due to safety and work conditions, production brought in non-union to take their place.
Therefore its not his fault
