A blank is very similar to a regular round minus the lead projectile. It can have more or less powder than a regular round depending on the effect wanted as in big muzzle flash or more or less smoke. So why everyone thinks a weapon needs to be modified to fire blanks is beyond me. And a blank can kill you. Ask Brandon Lee. Oh you can’t because he is dead from a blank round at close range |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74015112 Yep, particularly since political liberalism tends to make people sociopathic. A major trait of sociopaths is their weakness in identifying right from wrong, good from bad, truths from lies. That in a nutshell is the very essence of an already deranged, hot-head similar to Alec Baldwin. However, Baldwin apparently is sensible enough to be anti-vaxx. But that's offset by a few claims he was bitching about Donald Trump around the time of the shooting. |

I've even gotten in the habit, if I leave the room with a weapon that I just cleared/checked and go do something in another room, when I come back to continue handling the same weapon I just cleared, I clear it again as if it's the first time it's been presented to me. You can not be too careful around a tool that could end someone's life in a fraction of a second. The one time you don't clear/check your firearm, that's the time someone dies. |

Furthermore, another question that has gone under the radar is how the Baldwin shooting also led to the wounding of director Joel Souza. It wasn’t a “prop gun.” It was an actual gun that was being used as a prop. TMZ reported on the development that sources close to the filming of “Rust” indicate that the gun used in the incident was also used off-set for “target practice.” “The smoking gun that claimed the life of Halyna Hutchins might’ve been more than just an on-set prop — it was also being fired recreationally, even when cameras weren’t rolling,” TMZ reported. “Multiple sources directly connected to the ‘Rust’ production tell TMZ … the same gun Alec Baldwin accidentally fired — hitting the DP and director — was being used by crews members off set as well, for what we’re told amounted to target practice,” the report added. According to the BBC, a “prop gun” could mean a range of items, “from non-functioning weapons to cap guns… But it can also mean a real weapon, or one adapted for firing blanks.” However, Hollywood should ban the term from applying to actual firearms. I wonder how much Baldwin is paying out to get the rest of the crew to say he wasn't involved in the target shooting. I bet it's gonna cost him so much that he'll be doing AARP commercials next year. "However, Hollywood should ban the term blanks from applying to actual firearms." That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Like most things lefties suggest to solve problems, it would have done nothing to prevent this accident. At the very least the gun handler failed to properly check the weapons before they were in use and Baldwin should have checked his weapon. Even non-firing guns and plugged barrel blank guns should be checked before use. No live rounds should have been on the set at all, ever, period. If any effects called for live ammuntion they should have been specially loaded light rounds with light bullets and shouldn't have been handled by anyone other than the FX crew and still been under the supervision of an experienced gun handler. No film gun should have been used for target practice unless it was on a range under the supervision of an experienced gun handler who verified it was safe before returning it to the set and ensuring no live ammunition accompanied it. This was sloppy work all the way around and it loops right back around to the gun handler herself but you can already see the blame game starting. The attempt to shift the narrative to gun control and guns in Hollywood is well underway. |

He has a temper to go with is loudmouth, does this make him guilty of shooting someone deliberately, no. It may make him sorry he accused others though. Now, if someone was using the gun for target practice it was a real gun, not a prop. Someone gave Alex a real loaded gun that kill one woman and serious injury to another man. This still does not make him the person who caused it except by him being stupid about guns. I guess they don't understand not being for guns violence and knowing what the gun is supposed to be for. Protection and use to kill food, animals, before eating it, you can add fishing poles and line and hooks to that list. Being dumb does not make you a murderer, killer yes, murderer no, there is a big difference. He unknowingly pulled the trigger on a real gun with a real bullet and by doing so, he killed a woman and injured a man badly. I don't care if you dislike the man, I'm not into putting a sign on someone who is just a dummy because of how he thinks. Now, who gave him the gun with real bullets? Sorry I got a headache These are the times that tries men's and women's souls! May we come though it victorious! |
