Morrissey said if new testing of the gun showed it was working, she would recharge Baldwin.

      They were in a desert so some of the staff thought they would get some shooting in. That simple, that dumb.

      OTOH, even then, how did live ammo find it’s way into the prop gear? One of those things where there had to be several dumb mistakes.

        The staff was shooting the prop gun. That’s how live ammo ended up in that gun.

        But like… How the fuck was that something that was allowed. I think that is the question.

        I see Alec responsible as a producer, not as an actor. He should be no more or less responsible than any other producer involved UNLESS his role somehow was more related to guns/safety than other producers.

      More to the point: Why didn’t Alec Baldwin check the firearm?

      If the script called for him to shoot himself, you know he would have.
