A couple of takeaways:

Libs are arguing with people who (at least claim to) are very familiar with firearms and the safety. In threads about other shootings, they call gun owners knuckle draggers who are incapable of following rules. Here, the libs wrongly tell these people they are wrong and the "rules are different on a movie set"

What changed?

Also, they seem to be implying that it's ok to operate firearms with zero safety training. Imagine suggesting such a thing in a comments section about a school shooting.

Is this all because Baldwin got in Twitter fights with Trump?

Also, noticeably absent is any discussion about how this is largely a labor issue.

    More likely because he did le epic trump impersonation. Literally every event is mediated through partisan politics, and that’s their guy because he was mean to the other teams guy on tv, so you defend. The substance doesn’t matter.

      It almost seems like it's on an unconscious level. Like, who could keep track of who every single "good guy" is, and whether their perceived goodness overrides their hatred of gun culture. Here they are harping on about how he's not the slightest bit at fault. Any other gun story, they would be raking the shooter over the coals

      Baldwin has a long track record of being on Team Lib, so they rush to defend him despite the fact that he's just an asshole Hannity twin who says "vote blue" instead.
