I’m not sure what your point is, Steve. But the point of pointing a gun at someone is to stop the threat which includes killing them, if necessary.

What seems to be a point of contention here is that some believe that simply because this horrible accident occurred on a movie set, the person who erred should not be held accountable for his own negligence.

IMO, being on a movie set does not relieve a person from their duty to handle a firearm safely. I understand the unique circumstance of there being an armorer on site whose only job is to be sure firearms are handled safely. However, the negligence of the armorer does not absolve everyone else or anyone else of their own duty to safety.

Unfortunately for Baldwin, but perhaps fortunate for everyone else, is that henceforth the time-honored notion will yet again be hammered home that the person who handles a gun is responsible for what happens with it no matter where or when.
