all of those examples are of real guns in real life ....

not a fake gun on a make believe movie set using a prop as part of a scene.

and again ... it's not the actor's responsibility to check the gun. It's the first AD and the armorer.

And didn't the actual director instruct him to point the gun toward the camera?

This is the bi-product of a young kid serving as an armorer (who are mostly ex-military / law enforcement grown ups) ... she had little to no experience and was a pawn in trying to save money.

It's a terrible tragedy and will heighten awareness on future productions, which in the end is a good thing.

That was a real gun, not fake. Baldwin’s company made the decision to use real weapons.

He didn’t check the gun and pulled the trigger.

Stop giving this guy special privilege because you want to worship celebrities.

And he is the producer who hired her.

The gun wasn't fake, though.
