I appreciate the man as an actor, but I'm not some blind Baldwin fan.  But. It seems to me that it's 100 percent shouldered on the stunt folks. He's a freaking actor/prop himself. Should he have noticed the weight shift in the gun? Live bullets on set are guaranteed to have insane restrictions and overhead. I mean, really? We aren't in the 1920s. What's really going on here? Definitely not gross negligence on the mannequin's part.

the argument is that he's one of the producers, and tbh if you're producing a show, you should know proper safety procedures and protocol for things like live weapons. 

it's like if an actor were to show up on a set, say they have experience riding a horse, then all of a sudden they're riding a horse in a scene, do something stupid to piss of the horse, and the horse kills someone. it's on the actor. it's also on the person that hired said actor to vet them and make sure they have the experience they said they did. in this case, Baldwin is both.

there's a process in which the person handling weapons actually shows the actor that the weapon is not loaded before handing off. there are multiple people at fault here. I think Baldwin is definitely one of them.
