Should Baldwin go the extra step and make sure the cinematographer is using the correct lens? Should he be making sure the lighting fixtures are secure? Making sure the craft table is stocked?

Baldwin has made MANY movies in which he has held a gun.

I also bet he is glad the Oscars were Sunday...
I fact I thought that would be why this thread was bumped.

'Rust' movie receives maximum fine for gun safety failures in Alec Baldwin shooting
A report released by the state Occupational Health and Safety Bureau blasted "Rust" producers for "plain indifference" and noted they "willfully violated" known industry safety protocols in imposing a nearly $137,000 fine for firearms safety failures.

That report is pretty damning of the production management. Baldwin doesn't enter into it at all. But his name is on the marquee, so he's the one who's being sued.

I saw an ad on Instagram for the VUDU “Jack Ryan” 5-movie collection… It’s funny how they separate Alec Baldwin from Sean Connery and make Connery’s face large and basically show the top part of Baldwin’s head at the very bottom.
They really are trying to distance themselves, aren’t they?

-Accidental shootings: Probation.
-Accidental deaths: 1yr behind bars
They should change the law.
