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.
Yeah so I was just watching goddamn Morning Joe and a Hollywood gun guy was explaining how actually the actor definitely checks the gun and so do any others who want to.
So as usual this is children online making shit up or thinking they know more than everyone else because they visited the Wikipedia page. People do it here, too, of course, so don't go getting a superiority complex.
Serious question: How can you tell the difference between a gun loaded with live ammo and a gun loaded with blanks, or whatever they were supposed to be using?
By checking the rounds specifically. Blanks do not have a 'tip' to them that you would see on a live round, there is no bullet, just the casing crimped where the bullet would reside
For example, blank
vs
Live
If you're asking if the weapon could be checked safely otherwise, there really isn't one I am aware of
