New search warrant in ‘Rust’ set shooting could reveal where ammo came from l GMA

1. That is not the CENTRAL QUESTION everyone is asking. The CENTRAL QUESTION is, WHEN IS BALDWIN GOING TO BE CHARGED WITH MURDER? Seriously, Kim Potter immediately admits her mistake, shows remorse and doesn't shift the blame and she's in court already. But Baldwin hasn't even been charged. Anyone that handles a firearm is personally responsible any collateral damage upon its discharge. Where the LIVE AMMUNITION came from only makes a difference in the CIVIL LAWSUIT, not the CRIMINAL CASE. Baldwin cocked the gun, pointed it at a person, and pulled the trigger. He doesn't admit what he did and shows only sorrow for himself, not the victim. Then tries to blame the gun, by saying it did what it is specifically designed not to do. Where are the charges????

2. George is really getting some mileage out of this tragedy.

3. When that gun went off it had to kick back hard and he is saying he didn't know it went off and hit her until she bleed on floor for 45 minutes and the other victim is bleeding and screaming he would have to be out of his mind on holucegens or something stronger!

4. Maybe it’s possible that Alec was “set up”, & the live ammo was put in there on purpose. Alec didn’t load the gun! But he definitely should have physically checked the weapon himself before handing it! Safety, safety, safety!

5. What I want Alec to understand that weather he pulled the trigger or not he had the weapon in his hand. But I do not think he shld be held accountable for this tragedy.

6. Alec had fun shooting the gun with real ammo while on break

8. poor, poor, poor Alec.

   what you say can and will be used against you in a court of law -keep talking Alec, keep talking!!!

9. He produced a movie that used a single action revolver, which would, 100% require the hammer to manually be 'cocked' before the trigger would even function to fire a round (blanks or live), so… Either he was handed a cocked pistol (with hammer already pulled back) and it 'accidentally' discharged while he was aiming at a person OR he manually cocked it, aimed it at someone and then pulled the trigger… One of these is significantly more likely to have occurred than the other.

10. Doesnt matter where the ammo came from couldve came from space, leave it up to alec baldwin and the media to point him as a victim instead of the woman who was killed the point is he didnt check to see if it was loaded and then he pointed the gun at someone and pulled the trigger that's the point

11. But who pointed the gun and pulled the hammer back?

12. To the leftists and Corporatist Democrats (Revolutionary Communists know how firearms work typically) Alec is outright lying aka acting in my opinion and your lack of knowledge on firearm mechanics is what he's counting on.
    He used a SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER .45 Long Colt. Simply squeezing the trigger will do nothing. The way it works is in order for the revolver to fire, the hammer must be manually cocked to the rear open position, only then will it fire once trigger is squeezed. He broke the very core basics of firearm safety: he treated it as if it was unloaded, he pointed the barrel at something he did not wish to destroy, and he cocked the hammer and put his finger on the trigger. For any firearms owners, this is the first basic core rules they learn not to do. He pointed the SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER .45 Long Colt at the camera/crew, cocked the hammer and squeezed the trigger not checking the cylinder (which a single action and double action revolvers are the easiest pistols to check if loaded) and a .45 Long Colt projectile fired killing 1 woman and injuring 1 man. He's contradicting how this particular firearm functions mechanically. It's also been reported the scene didn't call for this during rehearsal. I do not believe he intended to do this, but he did do this. He is a producer of Rust, it's been reported to save money they replaced some of the crew with locals to save money. The film firearms armorer was inexperienced and deserves blame as well. That said, him making this about him maybe the lowest response possible to this and talking to a Clinton press secretary/ABC anchor who knows nothing about firearms and safety, nor bringing on a firearms expert to hold Alec's feet to the fire, this is a controlled defense on public opinion. He's going to blame anyone and anything BUT himself, In his mind he bears 0 responsibility for this. If he was a civilian, he'd already be charged with minimal with wanton endangerment or Manslaughter. He wants to blame ONLY the armorer, AD, the firearm itself. Firearms depending on type function and malfunction very specific ways, and what he just said Single Action Revolvers do not malfunction this way. That said, Firearm are not sentient beings and require human intervention to function or malfunction. I doubt anyone who's backing him will listen and believe his firearm is sentient being and hates me, or a spooky ghost cocked the hammer and squeezed the trigger and that's simply not reality I'm sorry. He did this, neglecting the rules of firearm safety and a woman is dead because of it. And that's the part that really gets under my skin. He's saying he's not a victim, while saying he's the victim. Her name was Helena Hutchinson who came here from Soviet Union Ukraine. This is the victim, and the director but he'll live.

    Baldwin is an actor by trade for decades, which can be summed up as a liar as a trade to entertain others. Pretend if you believe lie is too harsh. He's trying to get ahead in public opinion for incoming lawsuits because it's the ONLY accountability he'll face. I found your privilege here folks, but it's not because he's hwite. It's because he's a Hollywood veteran actor and a public activist for the establishment Corporatist Democrat Party And ironically a gun control advocate. Too bad it wasn't an ArmaLite-15 Rifle we call AR-15, or a 30 round capacity magazine. Many gun control advocates believe AR stands for Automatic Rifle-15 or Assault Rifle-15 and no I'm sorry. Doesn't mean that. If it was an ArmaLite-15 Rifle in .223 Remington/5.56×45mm NATO in a 30 round capacity magazine, we all know what he'd be saying. As it is, this happened with one of the only few firearms most gun control activists is ok with private citizens owning, which is a 19th Century SINGLE ACTION REVOLVER in .45 Long Colt caliber cartridge I'm assuming a Colt Peacemaker or Colt Single Action Army.

    He's acting. "You can't out act me boy, don't even try." -Alec, Team America: World Police.

    There is plenty of YT videos for any individual to watch explaining a single action revolver history, design, function and malfunctions for you to check, don't take my word for it, fact check me. It's my opinion he's lying and will take 0 responsibility for his dismissal of the most basic form of firearms safety. He should pay and face the same charges anyone else would face under identical circumstances who's name is Alec Baldwin. And Walt Disney's ABC news is shameful not pushing back a millimeter worth or juxtaposing his claims with a firearms expert armorer or gunsmith. They protect their own, nobody else gets this kind of treatment. Alec shamelessly makes this about Alec Baldwin. The victim is Helena Hutchinson, and the fact her husband has a cold lonely bed tonight, nor her children will have the blessing of having their mother smile and take photos of her children ripping into Christmas gifts in 22 days. I do not care how Alec feels beyond paying that family out millions of dollars, nor do I person know a single individual (especially with basic firearms knowledge) who disagrees with me. Get back to your hole Alec and await your incoming lawsuits, along with your discount armorer and if there is any justice you will both be charged and face a trial of your peers.

    All I can say is, I feel awful for the Hutchinson family, my first motherless Christmas sucked. So keep your chins up Hutchinson Family, it's all you can do beyond this man transferring his wealth to her widowed husband.

13. 👎 dislike

14. The ammo came from a factory before that. Who cares. The chain of responsibility starts on set.

15. No matter who gave him the gun he’s responsible to practice gun safety by visually inspecting the chamber and clearing it himself, besides that you never point a gun at someone.

16. Well now! I put blame on the people that handed Rust the 300 rounds of live ammo but he asked for it back they didn't give the live rounds back. So maybe the cast were targeting shooting outside the set with the single action revolvers. And the Armor was responsible to have checked that gun to see if it was unloaded. And Alec Baldwin for not pointing the gun in a safe direction and not checking for live rounds. If a single action revolver or automatic pistols are dropped they can go off! But I believe Alec pulled the weapon out off his holster practicing his quick draw. Which you never do with people around. He pulled the hammer back and squeezed the trigger. Killing one and wounding the other! Now if he pointed that weapon at the victims that's careless behavior on Alec. The police will figure it out like with Brandon Lee.

17. Uh oh, Baldwin has found someone to throw under the bus!

18. ABC = All Bullsh.t Cra.p News , Alec Baldwin is an actor acting ( going to get a pass I bet for murder )

19. Surprised Stephanopolous wasn’t sitting on Baldwin’s lap for the interview. He looked like he wanted to go hold him for the better part of it. Nice try George. We see you.

20. You pick up a gun. You check the gun. SIMPLE.

21. Alec is guilty of Murder. Lock him away.

22. Let's suppose a chase scene is being filmed. The actor is driving and somehow the lug nuts come off and the car crashes. Someone dies. Should the actor have checked those lug nuts first? Or are there others on the film crew responsible for vehicle safety? I'm not drawing any conclusions here, just asking.

23. Live rounds should not be on set, but there is a possibility, and this is why you have an armourer employed is the first place, and all the safety training and strict protocols that should be in place.

24. *> Santa Fe Sheriff Adan Mendoza, who heads the law enforcement agency investigating the shooting, said
    “Guns don’t just go off. So whatever needs to happen to manipulate the firearm, he did that, and it was in his hands.”

    The nomination for the academy award for best actor in a murder goes to… Alec Baldwin !

    Reports indicate a F.lli Pietta 45 Long Colt Revolver replica single action. Had to be cocked and the hammer fell striking the primer. He pulled the trigger. Gun safety is no ACCIDENT!

25. The gun didn't know he was loaded… He's the real victim here.

26. Doesn’t matter where the ammo came from. I’m from NM. Trust me this man is in no trouble and nor should he be. Live ammo shouldn’t fit in a prop gun.

27. Murder mystery

28. Sorry Waukesha, Alec Baldwin takes president.

29. The YouTube comment section is certainly filled with stupidity.

30. the ammo came from Spain like Alec's wife

31. The studio has decided to rename the movie from “Rust” to “Watch out!!! Grandpa’s got a gun”. Makes sense to me

32. How long would it have took her to look at the ammo though.

33. Not sure I would put great trust in a young person that decides to do the yellow and purple hair thing. Maybe it’s just me but I would see that as a bit off putting.

    Yellow / purple hair = Maturity and responsibility. I think not.

34. It's really stupid to think a gun goes off without pulling the trigger ( especially the type that was used ).
    Great acting on his part !

35. Alec Baldwin is not responsible.

    Says no one.

36. Then again why would baldwin demonstrate such great trigger control to aim such a fatal shot right at someone. He had to hold his arm up. Aim and pull the trigger at the only person opposite to him.

37. Brass takes fingerprints like crazy. Dust the brass of the spent round.. Dust every live round on the set and you will have the prints of whoever handled it last.

38. Baldwin said he never pulled the trigger.. I immediately think he is involved

39. 1:03 I would not want to fck with this dude lol

40. So she didnt brought the live rounds but it comes back from her father lol im sure its a coincidence right

41. I just heard AB state he didn’t fire the weapon?

    If AB didn’t shoot Halyna and Joel, who did?

    A weapon containing a live round fatally injured Halyna.

    WHO fired the weapon? Surely AB isn’t suggesting the weapon “just went off”?

    A live round shouldn’t have been on set.
    Safety protocols would have ensured a live round wasn’t placed in a live weapon.

    A live round isn’t lethal unless it’s fired.

42. Baldwin should be arrested.

43. We need to put firearms training back in school, pledge aleagance to flag, God family, country. What good is a new school building if we don't educate the kids.

44. Each actor(s) has been trained on the use of Firearm, including checking your weapon for live rounds. They all have some responsibility, the entire production members

45. I am still confused as to why Baldwin, pointed, aimed and shot a gun at the victim.
