This is where the thread always goes off the rails, and all the hunters chime in about always treating anything that looks like a gun as if it’s loaded.

Certainly everyone ensures their children clear their nerf guns and super soakers before filming YouTube videos. But just in case they don’t, they hire armorers to be certain someone didn’t paint an AR-15 to look like a prop.

But, just in case that scenario exists, there should be another layer that ensures someone who painted the rifle for YT videos wasn’t letting their friends load it with live ammo to shoot targets after hours.

There comes a point where so many people are responsible for an action that nobody is.

Nah, it's a pretty simple concept. Don't point a loaded weapon at a person and pull the trigger. It wasn't a "prop" gun, it was a real weapon. It doesn't matter who loaded it, or what it was loaded with. They weren't filming or rehearsing a scene, he pointed a loaded gun at the cinematographer and pulled the trigger. The action that caused her death is his responsibility, and his alone.
