Needless

Warrant: Baldwin didn’t know weapon contained live round.

Oh what the fuck. This is a Western. They should’ve been using prop guns like any normal damn movie. (The prop guns I mentioned are very period-accurate reproductions that cannot fire live rounds. I cannot tell them apart by sight 99% of the time, and if I cannot, no one else can either.)

Baldwin doesn’t strike me as a gun guy, but this is why I always check the load even if someone tells me a gun is not loaded. Always! Who cares what they tell you.

I don’t blame Baldwin, though. I blame whatever dipshit fucking quartermaster had live loads on the set, and just mingled in apparently with other weapons. This is just piss poor set management and no one who had anything to do with that set should ever work in the industry again.

If someone hands me a gun, I immediately check the magazine/cylinder and then check the chamber. Then I check the safety (if it has one). That’s just how you do things.

I hope Halyna Huthchins’ family sues the company behind this into the ground and gets everything.
