And he is a producer.

Didn't you claim that liberals were unproductive?

So,after exercising his first amendment right, does this guy get to keep his second amendment right? I think there's grounds for cancellation of his second.

No no, he's a "militia" even if he is not only unregulated but actually unhinged. He should get a free battlefield .22

Yup.  How hard would it be for these actors who are going to use real guns as props to be required to learn and demonstrate the 4 basic principles of gun handling??  

Since you all seem to have a hard for mandatory training requirements before any of us mere mortals and common folks can touch a gun - why can't it also apply to anyone on the set who might handle a gun.

If you follow those basic 4 rules of gun handling.... all these safety precautions about yelling "COLD GUN" on the set would be moot.  because the actor who picked it up would handle it and be able to clear his/her own weapon.  I personally NEVER EVER touch a gun that has been handed to me or I pick up unless I clear it first myself.  I have absolutely no issue with the current protocalls, but I would still require the actors themselves be the final arbiter of whether a gun was live or no matter what some AD or Armorer told them.

How do you clear a weapon without touching it?

Seriously, you don't have the power of telekinesis?

Seriously, you don't have the power of telekinesis?  

It resides only in a galaxy far far away, AFAIK.

Seriously, though...he's kinda right. Whether or not it's SOP on sets for the actor to do the final check,  nearly all accounts it isn't (the industry has a triple redundant SOP in place before anyone hands an actor a firearm) but it takes 3 seconds to check a revolver. I can't imagine getting ready to stage a quick-draw without pawing the thing a while getting my hand used to the weight and balance. Baldwin deeply regrets not doing that, bet the house, whatever the SOP. 

 It's not as if that was THE failure point though. There should have been no live rounds on set, the armorer wasn't supervising the weapons directly if they were lying around on a cart. The AD didn't check if the weapon was empty before handing it to someone and telling him it was.  Three absolute no-nos and the count has barely begun. Somebody is going to serve time.

"Utah Man Arrested for Shooting Father Over Wrong Order of Chicken Wings"


"Bountiful Police say Suliafu’s father returned home with food for Suliafu. He grew upset and began arguing before retrieving a gun and pointing it at his father. Fortunately, Suliafu’s father ducked when his son pulled the trigger, as the bullet hit the hall and traveled into an apartment next door."

Oh you Americanos, Such a dangerous culture, and they even give you guns. 

Certainly,  your neighbors have to be afraid.

The statement said Bradford pointed the gun at the child at about 7:20 p.m. as he walked in front of her Buda home. She also yelled at other children who were walking past her home and trick-or-treating, according to the sheriff's office.

Definitely a well-regulation militia member, there.

Well of course alcohol a gun was involved. This is America.

Question: Has the NRA published specific guidelines for 2nd Amendment compliant post-shooting "Thoughts and Prayers"?

Perhaps: "Dear lord hear my prayer. Please forgive me. I wish it had only been brown kids"

Or: "Dear lord, my mistake. I was feeling cranky. Do I still get in heaven if I give Pastor Bob another thousand?"
