Questions swirl about on-set gun safety and who could be at fault after Alec Baldwin shoots prop gun with live rounds, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.

“Number one, always treat all weapons as if they are loaded — don’t treat them as props,” explains Carpenter, who has worked on such gun-heavy productionsin addition to serving for 11 years as a professional instructor training agencies and stunt performers in how to handle firearms.

“Number two, never have your finger on the trigger or pull the trigger until you’re ready to discharge the weapon. Number three, never point the weapon at anything that can be harmed or injured. And number four, always be aware of what’s in front, behind and on all sides of what you’re aiming for.”Rust

Gun GUN gun.. is there someone that is someone gun crazy or what? You guys only started this crap because of the cartels. So quit your shit cause I could comment with facts but since I don't have a family to go to and my phone is hacked and I dont have a dollar

Someone is!

Who could be at fault?

It's sad that someone has to die before changes are suggested and implemented. This could have and should have been avoided.

No one is asking questions!

It was tragic. But how many students have been killed due to gun violence in schools due to lax gun control in this Country. Get real about what real issues are.

But why real guns?

That was not a prop gun. Prop guns are rubber or otherwise fake. That was a gun. And that is how it is referred to on set.

State lawmaker calls for ban on live ammunition and real guns on California movie setsCalifornia state Sen. Dave Cortese says he will introduce legislation to prevent accidental shootings on movie sets and in theatrical productions. Duh Hollyweird is lazy leaning on violence and explosions in lieu of better dialog and storylines. And they glorify gunplay for profit. And using real guns is obviously moronic. It took someone to get killed for this to happen? Why wasn't a law passed sooner? Like when Brandon Lee was killed. That was quick. And why were they using real guns in the first place?

Sorrow and disbelief on the set as Hollywood absorbs Halyna Hutchins' shooting deathShock, sadness and anger mark the mood on Hollywood sets as production crews absorb the tragedy of a prop-gun shooting gone wrong. This is criminal negligence. Corners were cut in the interest of money and time. Baldwin is the movie producer and fired the gun without checking it. He is as responsible as whomever was in charge of that gun . He is a hothead and they cause accidents with their angry impatience.
