Yes. What part of never point a potentially live weapon in someone's direction is confusing for you?

Yes. What part of never point a potentially live weapon in someone's direction is confusing for you?
That was in response to your first question (ie yes it is fantasy land)
Well, he isn't going to be, which would infer that you are wrong.

I wish I had your psychic powers. Could you drop me a PM with next week's lottery numbers please?
The bit whereby I'm an actor and rely on my fellow professionals in the crew to ensure the weapons I use during a scene are safe.

Then you're mentally deficient and shouldn't be anywhere near firearms.
OK, why is it fantasy land? "Because it is" doesn't address anything.
That makes no sense - you asked for my opinion - that isn't something you can state is right or wrong. It's like me asking you if you think cannabis should be legal and if you answer yes I state "well it's illegal so that would infer you're wrong".
Whether he is or isn't prosecuted has no bearing on my views re: whether he should be.
If what you are saying is true, and that Alec's actions could have 100% prevented this happening and that it was his responsibility, then is it not immediately criminally negligent manslaughter?
I'd rather get shot than read any more of this
It would be called a "dowie hole" in SC but Dis86 is joining in too here and because it's 2 vs 2 instead of dowie vs the whole SC FBPE brigade then the blame is perhaps shared more equally!
It is a bit silly when people who have clearly little to no experience with firearms are perplexed by the notion that there might be basic checks carried out or that in other areas where firearms are used weapons safety has been considered previously.
I thought we were talking about his responsibilities as a professional actor?
If this is just about you thinking that it would have been nice for him to have checked it a bit more in your opinion, then this argument is even more stupid than I thought.
Be mindful that this all started in response to someone saying he was going down for this.

I do my own brakes. So again, what firearms experience do you have?

His actions 100% could have. I'll ask again, what part of never point a potentially live weapon at someone is confusing you?
Yes, we are.
Why is it stupid though? You don't seem to be able to explain that part? Again, someone died here.. and you're still defending the status quo of lax safety. Just taking possession of a weapon and assuming what state it is in, pointing a weapon at someone etc.
Lax safety in your opinion (on the part of Alec).
You literally just tried to weasel your way out of this by saying whether he gets prosecuted or not doesn't matter, as its your opinion.
He won't be held responsible legally for this (as I'm sure you are well aware) , which would mean that you would be wrong in terms of his professional duties.
So whenever you take a passenger they redo them to be safe right?
They don't just take your word you did it right?
Weasel my way out of what? You're being a bit of a lunatic here tbh.. you literally asked me for my opinion - what is hard to understand about that?
I don't know that, I wouldn't claim to be an expert in the laws of New Mexico.
What specifically do you think I'm wrong about here though - what argument that I've made is "wrong" here?
You could use the quote function if you like.

I'll ask for a 3rd time. What firearms experience do you have?
The passenger wouldn't be applying the brakes...
Depends what the investigation turns up (and as above what the law is in that area) - earlier reports were he was clowning around somewhat with a functional firearm outside of scene shooting - which could potentially see him facing legal action.
