Do you think he knew the gun was loaded and purposely tried to shoot someone?
Yes,because all guns are loaded and should never be pointed at something unless you plan to kill it
Yes, but that's why there are supposed to be weapons experts on scene to ensure the guns used in movies are either incapable of firing, or absolutely unloaded.
I understand your point, and that's how I treat guns too. They're always loaded, even if you just unloaded it, but different reasons to have a gun, and reasons to aim it at people consentingly, securely, and safely. And before you hit me with "IT'S NEVER SAFE", they usually remove the firing pin, use a solid dummy magazine, and block the barrel and chamber... If two consenting adults want to do that in a theatrical setting, then so be it, it's safe enough for them.
Of course, there's blanks, but that's a whole different story with different safety regulations because blanks can still kill you with air pressure.
I was shot in the face from the side by a pistol with blanks. It peppered my face but, luckily, missed my eye. This happened in a public park in the UK. My parents reported it to a policeman at the entrance but nothing happened. "Just kids playing."
It happens! People think blanks are totally safe and point blank shoot themselves or their friends, and end up killing that friend or dead themselves.
It was a revolver.
That doesn't make anything I said false, so what's your point? Nobody made sure the gun was unloaded, completely free of live ammunition, or made inoperable. , and that let Baldwin kill someone... What does it being a revolver have anything to do with my point?
Actually, can you articulate what my point even was, because I'm almost positive you missed it.
It doesn’t matter what he thinks he knew. Anyone who picks up a gun should remember an important rule: ALWAYS assume the gun is loaded! So if you are to point a gun at anyone even for “acting” or playing pretend you absolutely need to check for yourself that there are no bullets in there. Seriously it takes a second and in this case could have saved a woman’s life if only Alec followed such gun safety rules and not assume that responsibility on anyone but himself.
Sounds like. People get the weirdest hate hard-ons around here.
No. I think he wanted to finish the movie and a killing would definitely not promote that end.
