I think the bottom line here is that the Armorer recklessly failed at her one job.
No way should any real ammo be near a movie set where it could be mistaken for a blank, and a prop gun should never be allowed to be played around with outside of the movie set EVER. All weapons should be secured at all times and they were not. I feel that Alec Baldwin bears some responsibility in this as well as the Armorer after all he was not only the one who pulled the trigger but it was his movie and he was in charge of things there or was supposed to be, this happened on his watch.

Question, why don't they make prop guns with a bore slightly smaller so that a real round would not fit in the chamber? The blanks could be made to fit only in a prop gun, that way this could not happen again. Is this a thing already?
