Is this supposed to be a flex?

If this rule was followed the vicitm would alive...

Or they could like check the weapon before playing with it... Second best option if you really going to be playing with weapons

How could that possibly be a flex? If this rule was followed movies wouldn’t have guns. If this is what you are arguing then that’s fine. But if guns are in movies, they will be pointed at other humans.

Also, people in this same thread have told you why untrained actors should NOT be fiddling with guns. You’d rather be ignorant and ignore everyone for some strange reason.

untrained actors should NOT be fiddling with guns.

Untrained people should not be touching guns, period. This common sense 101

people in this same thread have told you

And I told them that person handling a weapon is responsible for the weapon, being an actor doesn't remove this liability unless you are rich it seems

So just say you don’t think guns should be in movies. That’s a valid argument. What you are trying to say is stupid.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't think amateurs should be killing people on set.

I made my position clear.

Nobody thinks that. You are deliberately being ignorant.

You only have a hard on for punishing Baldwin because you hate guns and rich people.

Movie stunts are FAR more unsafe than gun use in movies, yet I have a feeling you aren’t advocating to rid stunts from movies.

I don't think that rich man have the right to mishandle fire arms and walk away from basic gun safety duties. This being dropped on Christmas eve is a classic PR stunt, and prosecutor is in on it.

You clearly disagree, there is enough air for both on planet earth. That's what is called an impasse and that is totally ok;)

That’s not what happened but ok lol let’s call it an impasse.
