> Something to keep in mind for the people who seem to randomly be obsessed with enforcing rules of gun safety from the “real world”, that by necessity are very regularly broken on movie sets–Baldwin made a good point in his roadside interview.

You can continue to hand-wave gun safety away all you want. Movie sets have the same due-diligence as any other occupation using guns.

The cavalier attitude defending this lack of control in movies is the reason someone is dead. In this unfinished movie alone there were 3 other incidences. That’s not a good record at all.
