The Daily Beast has hinted that the "prop gun" may not have been a proper "prop gun." but a real gun

Presumably the local police have the gun, and are checking it out.

A real bullet is often used in a dummy bullet. The primer should have been removed.

You do not seem to know what a squib is. I am no expert on guns, but I am a bit of an expert on spotting experts. You are no expert on guns. You keep saying your personal experience will prove things we all know is false. This is pointless.

That is true everywhere but the entertainment industry. If the actor inspects the gun, it is no longer certified safe. The props people cannot guarantee it is in the condition they left it in. That means the actor must be fired immediately.

So now all you have to do to prove I was wrong was connect Baldwin to Lee's shooting.

Clearly, you have not bothered keeping up with the thread, and are just posting nonsense.

Wow, that would kill the film industry. No more pointing guns at other actors.

By the way, based on what we know about NRA members in entertainment, an NRA member would have been in his trailer raping children.

It is bizarre the guy who claims to be the expert cannot understand how the real world happened, when it has been explained to him five times.

Quick, shutdown all movie production with guns. We must ban all gun use in movies. Because it is all about shooting people or cameras.

Many, if not most, prop guns are real guns. They shoot real bullets. Keep up with the conversation.

Someone who is a firearms prop guy would be very into firearms. Given that it happened in New Mexico, and we are talking about a gun enthusiast, it is more likely it was a right wing moron.

The WOMAN(not girl) shot was the director of cinematographer.

The director, also injured, would have also been close to the camera, but not as close.

It is a normal shot to have an actor point the gun at the camera. From what little we know, that would be the most likely situation they were all in.

We could start making movies where no guns were ever pointed at actors, or cameras. They would only be pointed down range at completely certified and licensed firing ranges. All actors would be required to wear proper eye and ear protection. I could go on and on... But the simple fact is that we would lose Hollywood to a foreign country, with stronger gun laws, but saner gun laws (when it comes to movies).
