By having competent armourers and a number of “gun grips” to ensure that any weapon used in the filming is handed to the actor in the exact same condition that it left the armourer’s hands.

They do, do this. It depends on what scene they are trying to film.
This incident is just a metric ton of incompetence that lead to her dying.

People bringing ammunition on set to ping tins and bottles after hours. America is still a gun culture and loves a bit of the old west, six shooters and quick draw.

Nope, she's in trouble.
Well yeah but looks like they are making sure the focus is on her to deflect anything which might come back on Baldwin.

The buck stops with the armourer, she bears primary responsibility., Nobody's throwing her under the bus, she's being held accountable.

I'm not saying she doesn't as per my older posts, but as it stands it seems any angle which might come down to Baldwin is being deflected to her regardless.
Oh here's the reason the prosecution decided they were not in a good position to charge Baldwin: https://abcnews.go.com/US/gun-fatal-set-rust-shooting-mechanically-improper-source/story?id=98760315
You remember Baldwin denying pulling the trigger (yeah yeah what a lame excuse etc)
Well apparently the gun internals are in such a garbage condition that yes, the gun could fire without pulling the trigger.
I guess this lands on the armourer again but, goddam, who else can it land on.
That would be the "new facts" that got the charges on Baldwin dropped.

I'm talking Baldwin's team and those on that side of the case. He has pending civil action against him.

Alec Baldwin Rust set shooting: FBI report says actor did pull trigger of gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins
The actor, who was one of the film's producers, as well as its star, has always said the gun went off without him pulling the trigger. A post-mortem report, however, rules the death was accidental.
FBI report confirms Alec Baldwin pulled the trigger in fatal ‘Rust’ set shooting
According to an FBI forensic report obtained by ABC News, the gun delivering the fatal bullet in the Oct. 21 shooting on the New Mexico set “could not be made to fire without a pull of the trigger.…

Which makes this "new" evidence very odd when it apparently directly counteracts the FBI, mistakes could always happen of course.

I can‘t find a link, but I’m sure that the local law has inspected the revolver before the Feds did and also found it in good working order.

Never really a believable statement. I wonder why he lied? Was he not supposed to be pointing it in that direction at the time, perhaps?
