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.
You said, “if they hand me the gun I’m checking it.” I’m saying that would be cause to fire you because you didn’t follow safety protocols. Any actor who insisted on your approach would not be hired because your actions would be deemed unsafe.
:wat:
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
If you're asking if the weapon could be checked safely otherwise, there really isn't one I am aware of
Is this all because Baldwin got in Twitter fights with Trump?
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.
Also, noticeably absent is any discussion about how this is largely a labor issue.
The libs see it as if Baldwin is fighting Trump in an MMA grudge match. Somebody died in the crew setting up the stage. That's really sad. But they are only focused on Baldwin winning. Anything else is just a distraction. Is he gonna win or not? He's gotta win.
Geez, you play :cheeto-man: for four years and they let you get away with anything.
