I'm only bringing it up because it's hilarious watching reddit, who freaks out any time a gun is fired, defend him at every turn.

Funny how quickly they go from "there's no such thing as a negligent discharge" to "Alec Baldwin is a saint :wojak-nooo: "

    I agree with not hiring scabs, but I don't agree that gun safety should be ignored because you put your trust in someone else. If that's true, then that opens the door for a whole host of other potentially dangerous situations.

    What makes it different?

    :wojak-nooo: "gun nuts never follow rules and innocent people pay the price"

    Gun owners explaining that the rules weren't followed

    :so-true: "actually that's different"

    Is a bad take.

      not one person, multiple people including the union, but i can see i'm not going to convince you that your expectation of actors is out of line with the standards created by people who have thought about this way more than you or I have.

        It just doesn't negate the fact that people didn't personally follow the rules.

        I think we are going to have to agree to disagree here.
