You've accepted the realities of movie/tv set gun handling until now. How is that an honest way to assess the problem here?

If folks following Jeff's logic didn't jump off the couch doing their best Cathy Bates when watching John Wick or any of thousands of other shoot em up movies and yell 'no, no, no you can't point the cockatoodie gun at that cockatoodie bad guy!' then this entire argument about how baldwin should've checked the gun, never pointed it at anyone, etc is specious. And knowingly so.

There is absolutely a guilty party here but it is, in my view based on what we know, the person/people responsible for providing/maintaining the firearms aka the armorer along with whoever brought live ammo to the set.

That said i think it might be possible that Baldwin shares guilt if he participated in or maybe knew of the live ammo use. I'm not 100% on that but I see it as maybe having some traction. But any culpability to be found there would be based on workplace rules as practiced by the film industry.
