Which means this aberrant event has little to nothing to do with how the film industry as a whole handles firearms. Also means it has no relevance really to the not uncommon requirement for professionals to sometimes be required to point a weapon at someone and pull the trigger, after every precaution is taken. Those professionals are not irresponsible or idiots for pointing a weapon at someone and pulling the trigger, which is why accidental shootings on sets are all but unheard-of.

True. This was very much an “isolated incident” and none of the parties are in the clear. There are civil suits still to go and criminal negligence charges that still have to wind their way through the courts.
If AB thinks he’s been exonerated and in the clear he is sorely mistaken.
