Movie/film suggestions.

@gano Baldwin wasn't playing with the gun. He was holding it like he was supposed to according the script, aimed at the camera.

I know you hate guns but that's quite the leap of logic to say he "pulled" the trigger as if he knew it was loaded. How else does one hold the gun?

Actors aren't remotely supposed to be armorers. Only some know their way around a gun. That's why there's supposed to be safety on the set with the armorer in charge of the gun and the actor using it as a prop. 

Horrible as it was, it's not Baldwin's fault for trusting what's supposed to be a professional. At least two armorers are required to check it. A court of law saw it that way too.

@nonoise agree to disagree. I would not point a functioning gun at a person. Point a freaking ruler or water bottle. No one has died from that. Build non-functioning pistols, jam them, whatever it takes. 

To put it in context, how would you value eliminating all risks if it was the mother of your child? Wouldn't you want all precautions taken? When things CAN go wrong they WILL. Humans make mistakes. That's why we create safety protocols.

@gano Same here re: agree to disagree. 

Guns have been in movies since the beginning of movies. That's why it's a well regulated industry. All it took was an amateur with experience gained from working with real professionals to slip through the cracks and slack off. She was a big fish in a small pond who wouldn't make it in a big budget Hollywood film.

Imagine if Baldwin was shooting a Viking movie and had to swing a battle axe at the camera for the script. Is he supposed to be an expert on battle axes and inspect it or does he rely on the expertise of the armorer? 

So he swings it for the camera and the head comes off striking and killing the camera operator. Is he at fault for that as well? Things can go wrong and will forever continue to do so despite the safety protocols we put in place. 

Baldwin was supposed to have been given an unloaded gun since it was to be pointed at the camera and that was with safety protocols. The armorer screwed up badly and was lucky she only got 18 months in prison considering she did the same thing a week earlier to another actor, was probably high and despite the dropped charge of tampering with the evidence to hide the live ammo and get it off the set.  

I know this is a touchy subject so I'll let this be the last I say on it.

@nonoise right, I would just repeat myself. But I would like to point out you started a sentence with "All it took was "

I don't want to be on an airplane or in a movie set with guns ending in the tragedy where "All it took was ". It should take many many things to go wrong and massively unlikely events to happen all at once. Such as: gun can't go off, TWO people checking, etc. etc. 

and for sure I acknowledge that people who grew up around guns feel differently, I don't know what they do
