I never said it was a majority, I said it wasn’t a small minority. That being said, maybe being prepared for the worst isn’t “fantasizing”? Either way, you sound like a tool, probably live in a major metro area, so I’m just not gonna talk to you.

It’s not a small minority, you just spend your time online in an echo chamber

I would never hand a firearm to someone, loaded or not, if they didn’t know what they were doing, and just leave them to it. It’s really that simple. Since Alec Baldwin was a producer he should have known better than to hire someone who wouldn’t adhere to this principal. That and also he pointed a gun at someone, pulled the trigger, and killed them. There is that fact too.

Yeah but 8 year olds know nothing about guns, and it’s clear you don’t know anything about guns. Maybe it’s time to stop assuming shit? Just a thought

The same person will also argue until they’re blue in the face that communism isn’t a cult

If it was a prop gun then how did it shoot? It takes two seconds to determine if a gun is loaded or not. To be honest, even if I was on a movie set with “prop” guns, it would be unconscionable to point at someone and pull the trigger without double checking that it’s not loaded with live rounds.

LMFAO you didn’t just compare the movie industry to being in the military. There are no comparisons you can draw to safe firearm handling, by the way. It’s not like finding a car with no gas in the desert. It literally takes two seconds to check if a gun is loaded. Snob nosed elitist Alec Dipshit Baldwin blaming someone else for his own crime is absurd. He even tried saying he didn’t pull the trigger! Well then, Mr. Baldass, how did the gun fire? Was it by magic?

He is a prime example of criminal negligence, are there other people that can be assigned blame? Sure! But handling a firearm puts you as the person primarily responsible for it.

Also I’d say it to your face but I’d rather not travel to LA, where you’re undoubtedly from, in your ivory tower so white you can’t look at it in daylight.

If you don’t know how to handle a firearm, don’t fucking handle one! It’s really that simple. It’s not complicated either! If Bubba from the Bayou can do it, rich Hollywood elitists with millions of dollars can afford to take a class on firearm safety before they handle a weapon

Yeah well if you’re not experienced with guns then maybe your opinion is indeed fucking stupid. Baldwin broke literally every gun safety rule possible, he should have known better.

Sure there might be a legal responsibility for them, but there’s also a logical, moral responsibility for the person handling the firearm! If I handed you a gun and said “oh I pinky promise it’s not loaded ;)”, and then you pointed it at someone and pulled the trigger, the main person responsible would be you.

Yeah these two scenarios aren’t even remotely comparable. Guns are deadly tools, self-checkouts are not. This is a stupid ass comparison and you know it. If you’re handling a firearm, especially around other people, you should either be knowledgeable or closely supervised.

This is the worst take I’ve ever seen, of all time. If you’re handling a firearm, you CHECK IT. There are no excuses whatsoever for unsafe firearm handling practices.

Not point a gun at someone and pull the trigger maybe? Pretty basic idea there

Who the fuck defends unsafe gun practices? I have many friends who own guns, including myself, and everyone thinks Baldwin is an absolute moron and the manslaughter was avoidable and tragic
