Yeesh - Alec Baldwin just plopped into a world of hurt

[Mennonite]

I don't get the comments conflating this accident with Baldwin's politics and general ass-holery.

As of now, this appears to be an unfortunate accident on the set. I don't see how Baldwin's anti-gun beliefs really come into play. And why would he need to "learn a lesson"? I mean, if he's already anti-gun then accidentally shooting and killing an innocent woman isn't likely to make him change his stance, is it?
