It sounds like Hollywood very much wants to "have their cake and eat it too".
If you cannot trust someone ("dingbat ditzes known as actors") with a real gun, don't hand them a real gun. It just doesn't get any simpler than that.
Hollywood, however, insists on playing with real guns. Insists on handing them to "dingbat ditzes known as actors". Why? There is no shortage of money in Hollywood. They have had decades in which they could have developed non-lethal facsimiles of every gun they would ever use in filming. The cost of doing so would go unnoticed in the greater Hollywood. Yet they have not. Why not?
