Pressure mounts for ban on real guns in Hollywood after Baldwin set tragedy

on the set of an Alec Baldwin movie has prompted calls for a ban on the use of real guns in TV shows and movies, with two producers already saying they will stop the practice.film director Olivia Wilde called on Hollywood to implement what she called"Halyna's Law," and a petition urging Baldwin to take the lead in a campaign to ban the use of real firearms had attracted more than 27,000 votes by Monday, October 25.

California state Senator Dave Cortese said he would introduce legislation intended to ban live ammunition and firearms capable of firing live ammunition from movie and TV sets in the state. No one has been charged and police are still investigating how the prop gun came to be loaded with live rounds. "Hollywood: It’s time to create 'Halyna's Law,' which will ban the use of real firearms on film production sets and create a safe working environment for everyone involved," Wilde tweeted on Sunday, October 24.

🔶From what I'm hearing on the news, 'Rust' was fraught with problems. The gun being one of them. Cutting corners on the budget was a bad idea. I hope a lesson was learned for the good of the industry. Bought with tragedy.
