No doubt that by now you must have heard about Alec Baldwin shooting and killing an up and coming Cinematographer as well as wounding his Director.
Being someone who knows a few things about guns … and more about gun safety, when I first heard the story, I found it hard to believe that something like this could happen by ‘accident.’ A few basic questions instantly come to mind … why was live ammo even present on the set? Why was a gun discharged in the direction of the crew? Why the the prop gun not modified to refuse live rounds?
Considering celebrities and leftist stooges are above the law in modern America, I would not be surprised if Baldwin walks free after killing this woman. Regardless of whether or not charges are pressed, Baldwin is responsible for his actions. ESPECIALLY after there were already 2 negligent discharges on the set … what person in their right mind would not check every gun they handled twice before pulling the trigger?
Larry Johnson of The Gateway Pundit writes:
‘Time to clean up the messy reporting on Alec Baldwin’s negligent shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and director Joel Souza. We still do not know what firearm was used, but the film was being shot on a movie set used principally for 19th Century westerns–Blazing Saddles and Jimmy Stewarts’ The Man From Laramie. So it is highly likely that Baldwin was shooting a revolver and not a semi-automatic pistol (e.g., Glock, Sig Sauer, Berretta).
Semi-automatic pistols are a 20th Century invention and became a staple of military equipment after World War II. There are two types of revolvers–Single Action and Double Action. Single Action means that when you pull the trigger the hammer is released and the gun fires. This was in widespread use in the West during the cowboy era. The cylinder that holds the ammunition is not easily removed and you must open a loading gate to insert only one round at a time into the revolver. Double Action is what most people associate with a revolver. That means when you pull the trigger it cocks the hammer and then, as you continue to apply pressure to the trigger, releases the hammer and fires the pistol.
If a revolver was used by Baldwin then a negligent discharge is not an “accident”. It is negligence. Whoever loaded the revolver handled each round. If the person loading the gun was paying attention, it is impossible to “accidentally” load a live round.
…
If you are paying attention and are knowledgeable about a 44 caliber pistol, you will not confuse these two rounds. The brass is crimped in the 44 blank. The bullet is clearly visible in live 44 round.
There are four fundamental rules for gun safety:
-Treat every gun as if it is loaded until you inspect the firearm and determine there is no ammunition in the chamber.
-Keep your finger off the trigger until you have your sights aligned and are ready to shoot.
-Do not point the gun at anything or anyone you are not prepared to destroy or kill.
-Identify your target and what is behind it. A bullet can pass thru a person or object and continue downrange and strike someone or something.
We know this for certain–Alec Baldwin did not inspect the gun to verify it was unloaded, he pointed the gun at a person he did not want to kill and the round he fired continued downrange and struck the director.
There are two different stories circulating about the fatal wound suffered by Halyna Hutchins. According to a crew source communicating with Jack Posobiec, the bullet struck Halyna in the abdomen, then exited and struck director’s shoulder, who was crouching behind her (this is from Jack’s Telegram channel).
The LA Times has a different account:
The B-camera operator was on a dolly with a monitor, checking out the potential shots. Hutchins was also looking at the monitor from over the operator’s shoulder, as was the movie’s director, Joel Souza, who was crouching just behind her.
Baldwin removed the gun from its holster once without incident, but the second time he repeated the action, ammunition flew toward the trio around the monitor. The projectile whizzed by the camera operator but penetrated Hutchins near her shoulder, then continued through to Souza. Hutchins immediately fell to the ground as crew members applied pressure to her wound in an attempt to stop the bleeding.
This was not the first incident of unsafe gun handling. The LA Times also reports:
Baldwin’s stunt double accidentally fired two rounds Saturday after being told that the gun was “cold” — lingo for a weapon that doesn’t have any ammunition, including blanks, two crew members who witnessed the episode told the Los Angeles Times.
“There should have been an investigation into what happened,” said the crew member. “There were no safety meetings. There was no assurance that it wouldn’t happen again. All they wanted to do was rush, rush, rush.”
A colleague was so alarmed by the prop gun misfires he sent a text message to the unit production manager. “We’ve now had 3 accidental discharges. This is super unsafe,” according to a copy of the message reviewed by The Times.
This was not a “misfire.” A misfire means when you pull the trigger you hear a click but no bang. The ammunition malfunctioned or the firing pin on the pistol is not working properly.
There also is no such thing as an “accidental” discharge. If a firearm is fired unintentionally it is negligence. Gun accidents are caused by only two things–ignorance and/or carelessness. If you are holding a pistol, it will not fire unless you put your finger on the trigger.
A talented cinematographer is dead because at least two people did not follow the fundamental rules of gun safety–Alec Baldwin and the Assistant Director who handed him the firearm with live ammunition loaded. Then there are questions to be answered by the armorer (the guy or gal in charge of insuring the firearms and ammunition are properly stored when not in use and properly loaded with blank ammunition) and the person in charge of props.
The worst thing you can do when handling a gun of any kind is to assume it is unloaded and safe. It is that kind of negligence that gets innocent people killed. That’s what happened in New Mexico to this poor woman.’

Baldwin did not load the gun. It was the responsibility to the person that did in fact load the said gun. Chances are, Baldwin was as surprized as anyone else that it held live ammo. In conclusion, I feel Baldwin does not belong on trial, the one that loaded the gun is liable.
nailed it BUT WHY THE HELL would there be LIVE ROUNDS ON A SET? WTF! should be a law about that for the brain dead idiots who cant tell a live round/real bullet from a blank! whomever put them in there in my opinion needs jail time.
Does the person who puts a 400m horsepower engine in a car get jailed when the driver of said car kills a pedestrian? Both cars and guns are lethal weapons when in the hands of idiots or thugs. Baldwin qualifies as BOTH!
Sometimes, even in movies, actors use live rounds just for the effect; but no actor should handle any gun without training! Baldwin hated the NRA, one of whose gun training courses could have equiped him with enough knowledge and caution to have helped him avoid this calamity. Now his career, his entire life, is flushed down the toilette because he was in such a big rush to finish his movie, which is now toast. He will have a lot of time to consider how a moment of carelessness has condemned him to a lifetime of regret. I would consider this guy at strong risk of commiting suicide.
True he did not load the gun, but the gun did not fire itself. He broke the number 1 rule, don’t aim the gun at anyone you don’t want to shoot.
You remind me of the people that blame an SUV for causing a traffic accident. Both guns and cars are lethal when in the hands of idiots and thugs.
Don’t blame the person that loaded a gun. He didn’t pull the trigger. Any sentient person knows to assume a firearm is loaded before even picking it up off a table. Aiming it at someone is the behavior of a narcissistic thug, and that’s the most gentle epithet I can pay Baldwin and remain within acceptable guidelines for commentators here.
Simple fact: You only point a gun at an intended target and one must always assume a weapon is loaded. Baldwin ignored both of these safety measures and needs to be held crimminally responsible. To claim ignorance is not a valid defense.
Why a dummy gun wasn’t used on the set? The sounds of shots could have been dubbed in later.
All guns are to be considered loaded. That is why cars have to have the brake depresses before starting.
Why did he aim at the crew and shoot?

My guess is a brittle snowflake type with NO fire arm experience will be at fault for the loading of the weapon. who that will be is not my guess here, just an inexperienced person is responsible. And frikken Baldwin of all people. Sad and Irionic. Truth: I am against many things and don’t even joke about them. abortion, being one. So personally were I a person with so much hatred for firearms I would never touch one either.
What’s so ironic about this lowlife shooting someone? Baldwin is an innate THUG! You must have forgotten him threatening violence towards reporters who wanted to interview him outside his apartment in New York. And his visceral hatred of President Trump.
Sometimes circumstances will humble a person. Karma
Why in hell moron, would you have a hatred for an inantimate object? WTF is wrong with you?
And you spew your intelligence my calling someone a snowflake – let’s hope for your family that they never have to depend on you to survive without a grocery store

RIP – and condolences to her family
But what if your in point and he was having an affair with her and being an actor- could he have set things up himself and the director being in the wrong place at the right time 🧐

The idiot has NO EXCUSE for aiming at the crew….NONE! that takes away the “involuntary” imho
The moment that the firearm was in Baldwins’ hand, it became his responsibility. It doesn’t matter one bit what someone told him about it. He failed to keep the weapon pointed in a safe direction and two people were shot because of his actions…………………….one of them dead.

He may have done it on purpose, he is a hateful man..maybe she said the word TRUMP! He should’ve checked the gun himself..no matter how much he blames everyone else, he pulled the trigger!..He is a MURDERER and should be arrested, processed, and go through a MURDER trial like the rest of the MURDERERS..
Who knows? This guy is emotional. He should be prosecuted just like every body else. They procecute people just to be Trumpers. Or Republicans. This is a criminal charge.
