I don't think the fact that the armorer was "female" has any bearing, but her incompetence does. I'm sure that a retired female supply sergeant would have never made such an ignorant mistake. I spent many hours volunteering to help in the armory, and there is no friend in the Army like a supply sergeant friend. A retired gunnery sergeant would never have made the assistant director's ignorant mistake of handling a firearm without assuring its safety. For that matter, no one who has ever been drilled in the Manual Of Arms would have been so stupid. Then there is Alec Baldwin, who accepted a firearm without checking it himself, then aimed it at a human being and pulled the trigger. All three of those people should go to prison for involuntary manslaughter. "I didn't mean it," means nothing to a corpse.
His politics mean nothing, but he should be facing criminal charges for negligent homicide or manslaughter. He killed a woman.
No, the gender had absolutely NO bearing...either sex can be incompetent...just look at Washington DC
You hit the nail on the head, which Roy completely missed.
Good Roy, keep brining politics into the gun thread
Apparently you didn't read or comprehend the post I gave per the persons facebook message who was on the set and who he blamed. Please note, he did NOT blame the actor.
When the story first hit the news, I did blame the actor because I couldn't believe he would point a gun at someone NOT in the movie.
