Alec Baldwin Movie shooting, no one will be charged

First charges need to be filed, they are at minimum, Negligent Homicide and or Manslaughter.

The person that need to be charged are Baldwin with Manslaughter.

Now that I got your attention, Baldwin is the Only One who should be charged criminally as he is the one though negligence of failing to verify the weapon was indeed unloaded or the rounds were indeed blanks is the one responsible for the Manslaughter of the Cinematographer as well as whatever charges for the wounding of the director.

The Armour is civilly liable, but criminal charges with a good lawyer could be argued that even if he by accident or negligence he loaded a live round, it was Baldwin who was the final person to hold and fire the weapon, and he was, and he should have verified the weapons safety.

I have carried a weapon for over 30 years, I have been shooting and hunting for 45 years. I have trained dogs and taught both firearms safety and hunters education, fired tens of thousands of rounds of both live and blanks. I have bought training rounds “aka blanks” and they do not come in a box with 1 live round in it.

First rule of firearms safety: Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
Second rule of firearms safety: Always check a weapon for safety when its handed to you.
Third rule of firearms safety: NEVER point a weapon at something you do not plan to SHOOT.

Baldwin has already stated he fired the round, so he is guilty of Manslaughter by his own admission.

The question(s) I have are:

How did a live round get on set? Excluding security and maybe body guards there is no reason for a live round to be on set.
If the Armour did load it with blanks, then who reloaded live rounds?  For those unfamiliar with a Blank versus Live round, it is so simple to tell them apart.

BLANK

LIVE

UNMISTAKABLE in appearance and weight.

Now that I have said all that, I also need to say from the moment it has happened Hollywood and Their Media have been circling the wagons to muddy the water and protect themselves.  The fact is simple, Baldwin was handed a weapon and failed to verify its safety, and then shot and killed someone which under that sates law is Manslaughter.

Irony, one of the biggest voices for so long about gun violence and gun control and regulation advocates, actually shoots and kills someone because he failed to take the most basic of personal responsibility and check the weapon for safety, while using that which he has spoke out against so much to make profit off of.

The Armorer is not guilty of  manslaughter. The definition of it under NM law is clear on that. Now that we have testimony that the guns were used earlier in target practice “and from some reports” the armorer was not told people took them and then replaced without the armorers knowledge, then she has an alibi.

Let me say the “IF” and “Reports” are really sounding more and more like a Movie than truth.

Age does not matter  when it comes to knowledge of weapons, I know many under 18 with more knowledge and proficiency with firearms than 65 year olds.  Lets assume for a minute however she did know the guns were used earlier (discounting the reports) and she did clean and prep them again. Somehow a live round got in the gun. Now further details say the weapon was a replica of a “Peacemaker” that means someone put a live round in, there will be prints on it (unless a glove was used) so whomever loaded the gun with a live round is the one guilty of Premeditated Homicide.

But Baldwin is still guilty of Manslaughter as he was the last person in the chain that had the responsibility to check the gun for safety. A cylinder check would only take a minute to eject,inspect and replace each round. and if it was not a period specific then it would take less time for a cylinder dump and reload.

What I am talking about is the pure letter of the law…. Baldwin under it should be charged as the law is clear in negligence on his part not checking it… Several of the gun boards im on have posted past cases in NM were a person was charged for that reason and convicted.  Basically “the act of what any reasonable person would do”. A reasonable person would check the weapon to ensure it was safe.

The armorer has all kinds of reasonable doubt built in for a defense case so much so without very clear evidence she knew no smart DA would bring charges…. Heck just from what I have read from the reports out there, there is reasonable doubt to no convict. Her prints and hers alone would need to be on the round for it to not be.

Still taking exception with you on age even when you say  “she has little job and life experience to be handling something so critical.” there are millions of 18 to 23 year olds with all the experience needed to safely handle a weapon. Military, Law Enforcement and we can go even younger to Olympians, team shooting sports etc. Age has nothing to do with expertise with weapons.  look up “Alpha Addy & Trystan” on youtube or just “Youth 3 Gun” ….. Knowledge of the weapon(S) not age is whats needed at 23 I could strip most civilian and even many weapons down  and operate no issue including repairing them if needed.  Hell there is pictures of me at 4 years of age shooting already and by 7 I was shooting trap and skeet  and by 12 I running high teens to low 20’s per round in them and long range shooting 338.

I am keeping on this because people do not understand age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge of firearms. I will go this far even, you hand me any glock on the planet I can strip it down blindfolded. Hand me one of the new gun makers pistols I might not be able to as im not familiar with it. And I have been an a Firearms instructor and hunters ed instructor.  No arguing just discussing trying also to dispel the age myth I see a lot.  Especially when I have seen a 7 year old tear down her gun rebuild it and explain every part on it and how it works and what she has had done to it and why including the sights.

Going to be as nice as I can in saying this. I mean no disrespect to anyone. But this is driving me up the wall.

Why the f**k is this news? It is EVERYWHERE, continually, and I am absolutely sick of hearing about this entire thing. All the Youtubers are making video’s about it. Ryan, both Jeremy’s, etc. For hell sake, it’s enough already. I just do NOT see why this entire fiasco is sooooooooooooooo important it needs to dominate all our media. I find it nauseating and an utterly stupid story to obsess over.

And please, stop with the Ruby Rose Batwoman nonsense too. I am so sick of these POINTLESS stories dominating the media.

@DarthVengeant

The more they talk about this the more they can detract from other things going on plus they are muddying the water for a jury pool “aka protecting their own” (hollywood that is and the mainstream media) as to the Youtubers and Social media, well, it is in the news and in this case one of the BIGGEST Mouths against firearms for years, Used a gun to make profit and ended up killing someone. The firearms community is pointing out to people that basic safety practices would have averted this 100%.

It is actually starting to set in now with some gun haters just how little these gun haters know or care about firearms, and how much gun owners care about the safety and proper handling and use of them.  I am seeing people actually waking up to it finally, the brainwashing Ironically by people like baldwin, by his actions are now seeing through the lies he and others spewed. for year.

I guess if you have the money and the “woke points,” anything is possible.
