This terrible tragedy was 100% preventable, had they just followed the most basic gun safety rules that every responsible gun owner knows by heart. 1) Do not point a gun at anyone you don't wish to shoot. 2) ALWAYS assume the gun is loaded with live rounds. Check it with your OWN eyes, when it's in YOUR hands, you are responsible to handle it safely. I hope Halayna's family sues for wrongful death, because it most definitely is 100% human error and carelessness by many people. 3 people handled that gun right before her tragic shooting and COULD have prevented this, had they just done basic gun safety checks. And why did Alex Baldwin point it at her in the first place ? There's also NO way that gun just went off, the trigger had to be pulled to make it shoot. That's not how guns work. Pulling a trigger is a deliberate action, it takes a conscious level of pressure to pull. Many people in the gun community got the same kind of gun and tried to get it to fire like AB said it did and they were unable. The FBI expert was also unable to make the exact gun fire without pulling the trigger & in fact he had to break the gun to make it fire without pulling the trigger. Every responsible gun owner I know is appalled at just how careless so many people were on the set of this film. Totally negligent & preventable.

Exactly what I was thinking, Fall Guy

Firearms mishaps are almost always a chain of liability, especially in a situation such as this. There's a reason why safety training always involves multiple steps in mitigating risks - many rules that need to be ignored or forgotten in order for injury to occur. The armorer, Mr. Hall, Mr. Baldwin, and whoever initially loaded a live round into that firearm all needed to fail in implementing multiple basic rules of firearm safety. It's almost unheard of for so many errors to line up so "perfectly" in this day and age. It's a testament to how badly this set was managed long before the day of the incident. My suspicion is that misunderstandings in how single action revolvers work, and the additional time it takes to check and double check them compared to modern firearms (in an already hurried shitshow production) were the primary factors that *enabled* a chain of events that ended in this tragedy.

I took my training further by becoming a machinist and learning everything about ammunition and reloading. The ammunition is key because a firearm is useless without it. The ammunition is what kills and most people have very limited knowledge regarding it.

Try to do some research. He signed a plea deal and promised to testify against the armorer and Alec Baldwin when his trial comes up.

Aside of negligence, the fundamental reason this tragedy could happen is due to people's common habit of jumping to conclusions and making assumptions. Reed assumed that the ammunition she had were all blanks and so failed to check them individually. Halls assumed, because he had been supplied with the gun by the armourer, that the gun was cold, Baldwin assumed, because he had been told by Halls that the gun was cold, that he did not need to check it and most probably assumed that because the gun was cold, that he could pull the trigger without consequences. A safety culture precludes all assumptions. A gun or a bullet is presumed hot or live until proved otherwise. When in a car we pull out to overtake, we make the check of the blind spot whether or not we believe there is anything there to see. And it is not unusual to find a car in one's blind spot that one had never suspected could have arrived there. It is only by rigidly following safety rules, even when one believes a practice to be safe, that accidents are avoided.

How long before alec calls for more gun control

Chances are he wont be filming for a while when he is found guilty of manslaughter whether is negligible or involuntary

This is a man with true remorse. Hannah is doing herself no favours by her facial expressions during his testimony.
