May have already been stated, but Keanu Reeves is VERY VERY proficient with firearms. Not a good example. Look up the range training videos out there of him. Incredible for a hollywooder.Alec Baldwin fan here. I don’t agree with all his politics but like his fIlms.
have been in LA around some “entertainment“ people the last few days that I have known for years back to when I played a little bit in proximity to the movie industry. Most very left leaning anti gun. Lots of spirited discussion about this.
I asked one lady that thought Baldwin should be charged if she would feel the same if he was driving a car on set and the brakes failed, would she charge him? it would be a hard ask to expect an actor to inspect the car Brakes, right? Film sets are complex. Lots of moving parts for even small films. Through in guns, pyrotechnics, moving vehiles, mechanical set pieces and there are a lot of things that could hurt or kill you on a movie set. No way the guy in front of the camera is responsible for all that. The responsibility was primarily the armorer and it sounds like she was a dumpster fire. Maybe the Assitant director or some others could be blamed. You might be able to run that all the way up the flag pole to the producers since theRE seems to have been some signs that the armorer was incompetent that were ignored. IMO there is no way an actor can be held responsible for for the final check on a firearm. I would go so far as to say that idea is flawed because most of them aren’t expert enough to perform the checks. Maybe for a cowboy revolver but imagine if they hand Keanu reeves all the 6 guns he’s going to shoot in a John wick scene and say “it’s your job” or if they ask Arnold to clear and check that minigun he uses In the terminator. NO way that is on the actor. There are people on the set whose only job is handling the weapons and there are other people to oversee those people.
bet he had a 5 some after this shootBut most actors and actresses are WELL trained on firearms if they take their craft seriously, here is just one example (plenty of others) and the scenery is nice as well:

How do you make that work on a movie set where you are going to point a gun at someone and pull the trigger to film a gunfight? Answer, you don't, a gun on a film set as a prop is treated differently.#1 rule of handling firearms, treat every firearm like it is loaded. End of discussion
You say it like it's a bad thingNo that one’s gone forever... too much porn

Says the guy familiar with TMZI never realized TMZ was so strong on here,
Of course, you should have an accurate reference point. It if sounds like a duck….you clearly know what TMZ is.Says the guy familiar with TMZ
I do but, don't partake. I also know what the Nat Enquirer is. My mom loved that rag when I was a kid. They really liked the alien angle back in the 70's and 80's!Of course, you should have an accurate reference point. It if sounds like a duck….you clearly know what TMZ is.
Not too long ago a big pro gun lady’s kid shot her with her gun from the back seat. Here in Colorado a muzzle loader shot and killed an archer. Is it more shocking that pro gun experienced people have accidents or actors? How many kids find guns in their homes each year and tragedy occurs? It is not shocking a tragedy occurs on a movie set, it is shocking the tragedies that occur outside of Hollywood in gun savvy homes.I do but, don't partake. I also know what the Nat Enquirer is.

The interest is likely the irony. An anti-gun lib, shooting two people and killing one. Can't make that sh$t up, like we say at work.

So can you confirm Halyna was working on a Hollywood pedo documentary?According to an interview I watched with the actors union, no live ammo is to be on a set. Supposedly 100's of rounds were gathered as evidence. The question I have is; why was the single action revo cocked, pointed in the direction of a cinematographer, and the trigger pulled? That sounds negligent, 100%.
As a side note; Halyna was a good friend of a friend of mine in the movie industry. She was very well liked and admired. May she rest in peace.
I’ll bet when you tell your insurance company it wasn’t your fault they will tell you otherwise and your rates still go up.How do you make that work on a movie set where you are going to point a gun at someone and pull the trigger to film a gunfight? Answer, you don't, a gun on a film set as a prop is treated differently.
Next up, read any of the discussions with propmaster (actual propmasters) and there's a common theme. No set armorer is having the actor check the gun. Some might allow or require an actor to be part of the check, but the person responsible for checking equipment is the armorer and typically the AD. I was reading a writeup from an IATSE armorer who mentioned that he would take a gun back and recheck it I'd an actor decided to open the cylinder/slide/remove a magazine without being told to, same as a rigger would recheck rigging if an actor started messing with it and a technician would recheck pyrotechnics if an actor decided to check the fuse. That's because the actor is not trained to handle it, doesn't know what power blank is being loaded (if any) until they're told by the armorer.
Alex Baldwin, I promise you, doesn't know the difference between a film dummy (inert primer, no powder), a blank, and a live round. Requiring every actor to check a prop gun would result in more NDs from people not super familiar with their operation.
So, listen to what the expert armorers from IATSE are saying. The fault lies with the AD, the armorer, maybe the director and the line producer as well for allowing the set to operate in an unsafe manner. The people who's job it was to ensure things were operating safely didn't do that, but if I pick my car up from the mechanic and it turns out the brake rotors weren't reinstalled, it's not going to be my fault when I rear-end someone, it's gonna be the mechanic who was paid to service my brakes.
So let's go down the list.I’ll bet when you tell your insurance company it wasn’t your fault they will tell you otherwise and your rates still go up.
When a gun is in your hands, it’s on you. Period.
Where is this coming from? People on set confirmed they were filming (haven't seen whether they were rolling or just blocking a shot, if you don't know what blocking is you need to sit this discussion out). I guess from the same source as this documentary claim.So can you confirm Halyna was working on a Hollywood pedo documentary?
Why was this POS waving a gun around, pointing it at these people, and pulling the trigger? They weren't filming at the time. AB is responsible for this. There's a possibility that others may be at fault to some degree. But it was him who pulled the trigger.
