Strangely enough, the gun isn't to blame in the accidental homicide on the set of Alec Baldwin's new movie. Hollywood is putting the blame on a person. Maybe even two people.
Jon Erik Hexum accidentally killed himself on a movie set. He put a gun to his head, pulled the trigger & was killed at close range by an actual blank cartridge. It wasn't the gun's fault. Hollywood said it was a tragic accident & wasn't his fault because he should have been instructed how to use the properly blank loaded gun safely
Brandon Lee was killed on the set of the Crow by a prop gun. It wasn't the gun's fault. It was the fault of the production crew for having a "hot" gun misused on the set.
And now, in the Baldwin shooting, it wasn't the fault of the gun, Hollywood blames the Armorer & the assistant director who handed Baldwin the gun.
If Baldwin had been handed a prop AR15 in a different type of movie, the AR15 certainly would have been claimed as the culprit.
If it's decided that real prop guns are to be banned on the set, John Wick movies will never be the same.
