The solution is simple. Require every actor, director, producer, armorer, stage crew, etc to take NRA Firearm Safety course.

Yep - first rule is "Treat every weapon as if it is loaded"

Second rule is "Someone hands you a weapon, you check to see what state it's in." In this case, that was Baldwin's responsibility to check, no matter what someone told him about what condition it was in.

Reminds me of a time when I was visiting family at Christmas and my nephew wanted to show me the deer rifle that he got for Christmas. He opened the case and handed it to me. I immediately checked the magazine well and then racked the bolt back and checked the chamber. It was just automatic for me but my nephew's dad was all "Look at that, would ya, that's Marine Corps training right there!" (I had been in about 15 years at that point.)

Amen to all of that!

Excellent post! As a fairly young kid my Uncle taught me the first thing you do when you handle a firearm is to check the safety and see if it's loaded... even if you just saw someone put the safety on and clear the weapon.

This is firearms 101, which I why I recoil in disgust when I hear a tool like Baldwin claim that what happened isn't his fault, and that somehow 'the gun went off by itself'.

But they will tell you you shouldn’t own guns anyway

Scissor lifts aren’t in the constitution.

Neither are insurance companies and their requirements.

Obviously you didn’t eat alphabet soup when you posted this crap! Go ahead and post a better argument. Oh wait, that takes intellectual thought.

You're living proof that people can post on IMGFLIP without an IQ test.

That is scary, isn’t it?
