    Are people arguing the armorer, who left live ammunition in a gun, ISN’T responsible for the accident?? I don’t understand who or what he’s arguing against

      Regardless of the failure of physical controls, no one seems to be noting that safety training is also not Baldwin’s responsibility.

      I certainly don’t look at a rich old hyperlib and think “Yeah, he knows this ‘prop gun’ is just an actual gun.” I don’t look at Baldwin and even think “He knows not to point this at something he isn’t willing to destroy.”

      I wouldn’t assume he knows a single thing about guns I didn’t directly tell him and have him repeat back to me.

      What armorer?

      Alec Baldwin, as producer for the show in question, conducted that shoot without one on the set.

      Thus why Baldwin is the one at fault for the shooting - and, funny enough, NOT because he was the one holding the trigger at the time it happened.
