It's consistent with the left's agenda and further propagates the narrative that guns are bad.

It was clearly an act of rebellion because the armoror couldn't get a chick fila biscuit on Sunday.

She should have planned ahead like indo weekly and order extra on Saturday to reheat on Sunday.

Sorry, but you are going to have to wait for the movie to find out.

They wouldn’t choose Baldwin for that scheme.

Yes, but equally curious as to how it didn't get checked. Just laziness and indifference (aka reckless behavior) to the danger a firearm presents when used by those who aren't trained.

FIFY

I don't know shite about filming movies, but I know a little about guns. I don't know why the hell live rounds would have any place on a movie set.

Yeah, Baldwin's a dick, but this really REALLY comes across as fishy.

On the one hand, like every other gun owner, I agree Baldwin was at fault for not checking that gun before doing what he did.

On the other hand, I step back a bit, and understand that an actor being handed a prop on a movie set, does NOT expect that prop to be an actual loaded weapon; does not think that's anywhere near the realm of possibility.

Have we determined what the actual gun was, and the actual projectile?

There are articles out now, saying that the gun was used for live target practice that morning. I also saw another producer say that there would never be any legitimate reason for an AD t touch any of the props, much less, grab a weapon, proclaim it cold, and hand it to an actor.

my biggest question is why there would be even just 1 live round on a set where u are playing ‘make believe’ with dozens of weapons and people.

This is what I’ve been thinking as well.

I can’t figure out why y’all are all so obsessed with this story. Almost everyone on this boards claims to hate Hollywood but there are 5 threads on this subject at any given time.

Still needed checks and secure storage that didn't appear to happen.

I find it fascinating watching the Hollywood hypocrisy in full meltdown mode. It is sad that someone passed away as a result of this.

Easy answer. Crew members were also using the guns with live rounds for "target practice". This is documented.

Someone probably left a live round in the gun and then the AD or whoever was too lazy to check, and assuming it was empty just handed the gun to Alec, telling him it was "cold". Then Baldwin took his word and didn't personally check himself.

A murder on a movie set is kinda newsworthy and worthy for discussion.

I was wondering when the conspiracy theories would start coming. Almost started a thread asking. Thanks for this. Now the fun begins.

Why in the hell would there be ‘target practice’ on a movie set with ammo for ANY reason? That’s totally insane!
