The rules that have been put into place after the death of brandon lee which have resulted in the deaths of only 2 people since 1993.

Those rules.

Do these rules supercede the law?

Who hired the armor and how is the head guy on the set?

Let's say i hired someone to build a house for me.

The house ostensibly looks fine and seems sturdy.

I invite my friends over, and they come inside the house.

I walk outside to move some trash and shut the door.

Shutting the door causes the house to collapse, killing everyone inside.

Am i responsible for my friends deaths? I did kill them by knocking down my house after all.

Guns are subject to special handling rules because their intent is to kill people.

Analogies here are red herring

Guns are made to kill people and anyone whp handles huns is held to the highest standard of care on the personal level. This is not something you can contract away unless you are a regime whore of certain level like Alex

How exactly did he "get away" with it. What legal trickery did he use?
