I had no idea they used anything besides realistic looking plastic fakes. It seems pointless to do anything other than that.

Baldwin is an anti-gun zealot. Those people tend to be incredibly ignorant not only about guns, but about gun safety. I'll bet that when more details are known we will find out that he was violating gun-safety rules that could have prevented this death.

The theory that he was doing a scene that involved pointing the gun at the camera makes sense. Kinda strange to read all the tweets about how terribly dangerous these prop guns are given how much they have been used over the last century.

Tax breaks. That's usually the deciding factor as to where a movie films these days. Some states like Georgia give you a free ride of no taxes. Taking the jobs supplying the film, hotels, catering etc. workers, companies are happy for the work. The state then collect tax from the workers paychecks.

From an interview with an eyewitness to the shooting, it sounds like one shot hit both victims.

Gun safety is not the actor's responsibility. You're exactly right that he's probably ignorant about it. That's why film crews have armorers with the specific job of preventing people from getting hurt.

I suppose my question would be why do movie sets even have live ammunition?

Yet actors constantly preach to us like they are experts on everything. In reality they are fools and Court jesters.

And in all those years no one ever mentioned that you should handle every gun as though it’s a hot gun, you arrogant asshole?
