Incredulous Denial
This is the sort of thing that brings disgust to anyone involved with teaching firearm safety.
If Alec Baldwin is not a lamebrain dunce, he certainly deserves an Academy Award for playing the role of one...
As supported by several wittness testimony, the fact that the gun was in Baldwin’s hand alone, being pointed at a (then) living human being, with a live round under the hammer, cannot be ignored—no matter how hard anyone tries. On top of that, the FBI has offered scientific evidence that the trigger WAS pulled. Evidence of reckless and/or careless behavior cannot get any more convincing than that.
A gun in the hand of a careless lamebrain person can definitely be a threat to public safety—as demonstrated by the “accidental” shooting on the set of the movie Rust. And, the fact that a lamebrain can be ‘handed’ a gun by an injudicious third party—as demonstrated by the “accidental” shooting on the set of the movie Rust—is the most logical, and underlying, reason that a judicious person would even harbor the desire to have a gun available for protection. There are many ways that this kind of scenario can be set up, and play out, but the player’s are, and will always be, the same; that’s the ‘big picture’ basis of the importance of a judicious citizen’s enumerating that desire for protection as a constitutional “right.”

Alec Baldwin is taking legal action for the first time in last year's fatal Rust on-set shooting incident that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
In court docs obtained by PEOPLE, the Academy Award nominee, 64, "seeks to clear his name" after he was rehearsing with the prop gun as it misfired, killing Hutchins and wounding writer-director Joel Souza on Oct. 21, 2021 in Santa Fe, N.M.
"More than anyone else on that set, Baldwin has been wrongfully viewed as the perpetrator of this tragedy," the lawsuit reads.
