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?
Eh, I don't agree with it, but I get it. He's very vocal, and very anti-gun, so there's at least a little irony in the whole thing.

But this almost certainly isn't his fault outside of the very fringe scenario where he did it on purpose. If anything, it will likely strengthen his anti-gun stance and likely make him an advocate for eliminating real guns on sets entirely.

The level of incompetence here is impressive in a dark humor sort of way.

I suppose it's ironic in the same way that someone who opposes drunk driving getting run over by a drunk driver is ironic.

FWIW, I disagree whole-heartedly with Baldwin's stance on the second amendment. I mean, if he intentionally shot these people that would be one thing, but this seems like a tragedy that would confirm (for him at least) what he already believes.

A more apt analogy would be to say that someone who opposes drunk driving accidentally got drunk, drove his car, and killed someone in the process.

Not hardly, unless someone slipped Baldwin some drugs before he fired that weapon. He held the gun, pointed it, and pulled the trigger. Those were all conscious acts. None of them were accidental.

The same way someone accidently points a gun at someone, shoots it, and kills them.

It happened to Cary Grant in North by Northwest. They held him down and poured a bottle of bourbon down his throat.

Maybe Baldwin can get out of this mess by claiming the bullet was really fired by some dude flying a crop duster.

It happened to Cary Grant, damnit!

I've always figured his character in Glengarry Glen Ross is probably a nicer guy than Baldwin in real life.

It would be worth knowing if they were just standing around off scene ****ing around with the gun or if he was indeed in scene staring down a camera for a shot after being handed the gun by whatever cheap flunky he hired so he didn't have to pay union wages. In one case it's all on him, in the other he may have been in a lighting situation where he wasn't even able to see there were people down range after being handed a prepared weapon by a "professional" who was paid to be in total control of the weapon prep.

There's really no way to avoid the gun and union stance in this pile of hypocrisy.

I vote he's a dumb **** all the way around and they should just go ahead and film a real hanging scene for the movie.
