" Industry standards " based on flawed union directives that removes the actor's duty to check any gun in his possession immediately to clear it for safety before using it. The union has taken that responsibility from the actor and placed it on the armorer. They should be sued for creating the very scenario that invited the possibility of a disastrous event to occur that we have now experienced with Alec Baldwin. No armorer or 2nd or 3rd person can prevent the actor, himself, from loading the gun or using it improperly. It was THE UNION that is at fault by taking one person's obligation and assigning it to another, who could not have prevented this tragedy if she wanted to. It is universally understood that, whoever takes possession of a firearm automatically assumes responsibility for it's use and for whatever happens with it, or to it, whether it is negligent or criminal, for as long as it is in that person's custody and control. Should it be lost or stolen, that person understands that he is obligated to reimburse the value of the gun, and could face charges of negligence for it's loss. No Hollywood union can remove that responsibility from anyone by arbitrarily assigning it to another person by way of job description. It cannot be done and we have now seen why. Any union that has this dangerous chain of gun handling, exempting the one who will be firing the gun, should be legally compelled to reverse course and fall back to the tried and true understanding that it is the responsibility of any individual who takes possession of a firearm to check and clear it immediately and render it safe. Centuries of gun etiquette cannot and should not be adjusted to favor one person over another, or to remove Alec Baldwin's accountability for not having proven his gun safe before pulling the trigger and killing the defenseless and unsuspecting Halyna Hutchins.
Hannah Reed, David Hall and Alex Baldwin are all responsible for the death of one and injury to another.
It’s literally Hanna’s job to secure , load and deliver safe weapons. Manslaughter 10 years, next case.
SHE WAS PROBABLY A TRUMPTURD AND PROBABLY PISSED AT BALDWIN AND DID THE SABOTAGE.
The rookie was using BB guns way before this bullshit happen I mean just go look at the shootout scenes where you can see the brass inter barrel of the BB gun…
Why would anyone point a gun at anyone for any reason? Why would anyone point a gun at a friend for any reason? And why would anyone actually pull the trigger on a gun pointed at a friend? Even if he thought there was no bullet it's still a very aggressive move.
I find it interesting how the media is seemingly ignoring the fact that the armorer i.e. Hannah Gutierrez was careless & utterly incompetent in her duties as a weapons specialist on the set of the movie Rust. There had been complaints about her dumb a.. prior on the set of the Nicholas Cage movie the "The Old Way"…Never mind that though, cause she's a lady.
Que Tom Jones~ "Let her dreammmmm, cause she'sssss a child…She's a sweet and gentle flower growing wild", smh. What a crock of ish! If this were a man he'd already be arrested & facing charges for reckless endangerment resulting in involuntary manslaughter.
Would LOVE to hear what Clint Eastwood thinks about this.
I can already see this playing out; they're going to blame the armorer for this entire situation that was caused by everyone involved including and especially Alec Baldwin…and Alec is going to get off freely or with minimal charges.
Keep in mind people, that if this were you or I that did this we'd be in jail!
I would be very upset if there are no criminal charges filed being the history of negligence documented so many times by the same people over and over again
Interviewer: "We don't know if it was a live round that killed Helena"
CLEARLY, a live round killed her…
And guns don't just "go off" a trigger must be pulled for a gun to "go off"
This is what Nepotism led to.
Heck…I’m not watching this film.
Why in the blue hell is it necessary to have shooting guns on set at all? Hollywood can imitate anything now, even light sabers. Shooting guns should be banned whether or not they “use blanksâ€ÂÂ… yeah right.
A bunch of idiots all in one place, yes Baldwin too. All stupid !
Rather obvious statement about the set’s safety
Get the word out that NJ Governor Phil Murphy will mandate the shot if reelected
THE PROTOCOL SHOULD BE THE ARMORER IS THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THE ONE KEY ON THE SET THAT OPENS UP A LOCKED GUN SAFE. NO LIVE AMMO IS SAID NOT TO BE ALLOWED ON THE SET BUT I HEARD LIVE REAL BULLETS WERE BROUGHT IN SO PEOPLE THERE WERE SHOOTING BOTTLES ETC. OUTSIDE WHEN ON BREAK ETC. BEFORE OR AFTER FILMING.
Trump should play Baldwin on SNL

THE MERCENARY Brutal Martial Arts head crushing no woke action old school violence by a former 2 REP Foreign Legion Sniper now on Amazon Prime ……….
You can say that again about abc, let’s go brandon
The investigation advances! Halyna Hutchins, the director of photography murdered by left-wing Alec Baldwin on the film set, was going to direct a documentary about Hollywood pedophiles. Her husband, a lawyer, denounced Democrat Hillary Clinton in the scandalous “Russiagate†case. There's a rabbit in this hole.
Alec murdered a woman but he will get away with it.
Jon Stewart DESTROYS CNN and MSNBC on Their Trump Obsession. I,ve just watched Russel Brand literally 10 minutes ago, on this subject. You can check this now the 25/10/2021 7 o'clock evening London time. This is Russel with a $ 100.00 video cam has 1,101, 678 views so far since yesterday. You CNN are the enemy of the people, you have to stop gas lighting ! Here is a fact that leaked out Last week. The Arizona Auditors have found the election machines were tampered with. All data was removed ? Now where is non political, non biased journalism CNN ??? You do know this means Decertification according to the Constitution of America !! P.S. America ! Just watch how the globalist establishment protects Fauci. lol. He knows to much.
As a gun owner it's my responsibility to ensure that my guns are used safely. Furthermore, if I let someone else handle it then the person handling it is in possession and is responsible for the actions taken with it. Mr. Baldwin himself should have made sure it was safe, thus making him negligent, too.
oops. alec baldwin should absolutely be charged and tried criminally because one it was his company and two he is the one who pulled the trigger. in addition he should never be allowed to work in the film industry again
Fauci tortures puppies.
Why the hell did he fire a gun at them anyways
I know I should feel sorry for Baldwin, but I don't. Nope . . not one bit. Karma is a bitch.

How come Alec Baldwin don't check the gun Himself before He started playing with it?

Small world…
Baldwin shooting victim Halyna Hutchins was wife of lawyer for powerhouse law firm Latham and Watkins.
Latham and Watkins represented Sussmann who intentionally misled the FBI bc he was acting on behalf "U.S. internet company" & Hillary’s Presidential Campaign.
The woman shot and killed by Alec Baldwin on Thursday was the wife of a Clinton-connected lawyer involved in a recent Durham indictment.
LOL.. just charge and sue the Armorer. No reason AT ALL for a live deadly shell to be on the set. Full failure lies there.
Quit dancing around, and quit listening the "group" pushing that its the guy they all dislikes fault.
This is exactly why you dont let this "sexist" crap get pushed over the facts and chain of command.
Funny how you didnt include the commentary that CNBC did that shows beyond a doubt.. what kind of workplace we are looking at, and the reality of its pitfalls coming to finally kill someone.
Hire "best skills" not same sex group power nonsense.
Ridiculous.
Someone wasn't doing their job. You have all those people on set and no one took the time to do their job
it looks like the armorer could be in trouble and whoever is the next in-command
Illuminati… worship …?
Trading on your own is very risky, I've lost alot trading for my self
Why haven’t we heard from the people whom walked off the set before this happened?
I'll never forget the words of Kim Jong I'll in Team America World Police….
"YOU ARE WORFRESS TO ME AREC BARWIN!!!!!!"
I want to see a movie where the actors say BANG BANG when they fire a gun. That’s what we use to do when we were kids, running around outside the house shooting each other. It seemed very realistic back then ðŸâ€Â«
Those old West revolvers ( Colt 45 ) have tapered cartridge cylinders ( where the crimped blanks go into )!
They are made that way too keep from inserting a real bullet cartridge into it , if that gun fired a bullet instead of harmless blanks ( except for within 3 ft. of the muzzle ) …then that gun had a real bullet cartridge cylinder installed on it !!! And it as been reported that the crew was shooting real ammunition from those guns the day before!!!
That inexperienced woman is the sole person too blame for this … I bet she didn't even change the cartridge cylinders back to the blanks ones !!!???
I wonder if this was some kind of stunt to get people to watch the movie.
It was a hit.
Not my problem not my fault! Thank god!
Not triple checking gun… rookie mistake… then had the nerve to shout "cold gun" 😡
SCABs You get what you pay for…
