TrueNorth User ID: 77287840 Canada 10/23/2021 10:23 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.thegatewaypundit.com (secure)] Quoting: PRISON FOOD FOR DA WIN 81039993 Time to clean up the messy reporting on Alec Baldwin’s negligent shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and director Joel Souza. We still do not know what firearm was used, but the film was being shot on a movie set used principally for 19th Century westerns–Blazing Saddles and Jimmy Stewarts’ The Man From Laramie. So it is highly likely that Baldwin was shooting a revolver and not a semi-automatic pistol (e.g., Glock, Sig Sauer, Berretta). Semi-automatic pistols are a 20th Century invention and became a staple of military equipment after World War II. There are two types of revolvers–Single Action and Double Action. Single Action means that when you pull the trigger the hammer is released and the gun fires. This was in widespread use in the West during the cowboy era. The cylinder that holds the ammunition is not easily removed and you must open a loading gate to insert only one round at a time into the revolver. Double Action is what most people associate with a revolver. That means when you pull the trigger it cocks the hammer and then, as you continue to apply pressure to the trigger, releases the hammer and fires the pistol. There also is no such thing as an “accidental” discharge. If a firearm is fired unintentionally it is negligence. Gun accidents are caused by only two things–ignorance and/or carelessness. If you are holding a pistol, it will not fire unless you put your finger on the trigger. A talented cinematographer is dead because at least two people did not follow the fundamental rules of gun safety–Alec Baldwin and the Assistant Director who handed him the firearm with live ammunition loaded. Then there are questions to be answered by the armorer (the guy or gal in charge of insuring the firearms and ammunition are properly stored when not in use and properly loaded with blank ammunition) and the person in charge of props. The worst thing you can do when handling a gun of any kind is to assume it is unloaded and safe. It is that kind of negligence that gets innocent people killed. That’s what happened in New Mexico to this poor woman. But he’s a Democrat so it doesn’t matter. TrueNorth |

I wonder if there is a pattern in the years or dates? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 63927796 United States 10/23/2021 10:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My skeptical and venal nature inspires me to think “insurance fraud” from a fake death (AND fake non-fatal winging) ON A MOVIE SET because Alec the Shootist is the producer of this flim. That’s the wife-mother-photographer getting life insurance. BONUS! Double Indemnity for accidental death. Civil suit for Wrongful Death paid by studio and Alec Baldwin’s liability insurance. And the prop gun supplier. Company insurance claim for delay of production. Wounded director will sue for massive slam-dunk civil settlement from layers of corporate liability insurance. Maybe just Worker’s Comp and permanent disability for life. Dunno. Free publicity for a hackneyed western? PRICELESS! |
