1). Aren't there federal licensing laws that require the company to handle firearms in accordance with the law?
(ie most Hollywood guns are real weapons modified)
There is a chain-of-custody which is supposed to be followed but was broken by multiple persons.
The owner of the film company was also the committer of the fatal act.
Both involve criminal negligence.
2). How is that different from a parent leaving a loaded gun on the table at a teenage party?
Both roles are liable for what happened.
Again, criminal negligence.
