Baldwin still claims he didn't pull the trigger in "Rust" shooting that killed Halyna Hutchins

The FBI concluded after months of testing that the gun Alec Baldwin held and aimed at Halyna Hutchins when it went off and killed her, needed the trigger to be pulled in order to fire. But Baldwin insisted he didn't pull the trigger and nothing was is fault.

Baldwin was handed the loaded gun and was told it was not loaded. He didn't check to ensure this and failed to follow the simple rule that is taught by the NRA, the military and anyone who knows anything about firearms: treat all firearms as if they are loaded.

Baldwin appeared on Fredo Cuomo's YouTube extravaganza, "The Chris Cuomo Project," where he claimed the gun that went off and killed Ms, Hutchins, a cinematographer for "Rust," happened when he was practicing a technique known as "fanning." And just like that, the violent gun went off and shot her and the guy standing behind her.

Baldwin, a self-described violent gun expert said, “If you pull the hammer back far enough … the hammer didn’t lock … it would fire the bullet without you pulling the trigger.”

It turned out the FBI experts disagreed. They concluded that with this gun, the trigger had to be pulled.

Baldwin said that a safety officer told him it was safe to do this since the weapon was “cold,” meaning that it was not loaded with bullets. For someone who knows as much about firearms as a blowfish knows about astronomy, that was good enough for him.

“Everyone on set knows what happened that day,” Baldwin insisted.

Yes. They know that he was holding a gun that he ASSumed wasn't loaded because he was told that, and he aimed it at Halyna Hutchins and the gun went off and killed her. This is what they know.

Alex Baldwin demonstrated the “fanning” technique that he says set off the gun on the set of “Rust” last October.

“Everyone who was there knows exactly what happened and exactly who is to blame.”

Everyone but him.

Baldwin’s latest cry from the heart comes just days after his lawyer scrambled to defuse the damning results of an FBI report that said the gun, a F.lli Pietta 45 Long Colt Revolver, could not have gone off without being deliberately fired.

“The FBI report is being misconstrued,” the lawyer, another self-proclaimed firearm expert said in a statement. 

While Baldwin admitted that he was anxious to learn if the New Mexico DA will pursue criminal charges over the accident, he acknowledged that “the real tragedy” was Hutchins’ death and especially how it might ruin his career.

“I am not the victim here,” he said, as he played the victim.

The conversation took a bizarre turn when Baldwin tried to illustrate what he believes is the media’s skewed perception of his actions.

“If George Bush’s mother Barbara fell through the ice on a pond and I waded into the pond and saved her life, they’d say I groped her. They’d say I squeezed her breast while I was pulling her out of the pond,” Baldwin insisted.Cuomo and Baldwin bonded over their experience of media disparagement.YouTube/The Chris Cuomo Project

“It doesn’t matter what you do,” he lamented. “The ones that are out to get you are out to get you.”

"Yeah, breast-groping Barbara Bush's breast," Cuomo said wistfully. "Tell me about it."

There's a live round in the chamber whether there is or is not

The prop gun Alec Baldwin apparently aimed and fired at cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, which killed her and wounded director Joel Souza, was previously used by the movie crew off-set for fun, a new report states.

Apparently the gun used in the movie "Rust" was loaded with live rounds and used for target practice 

TMZ reported. It was allegedly used off-hours at crew gatherings and this may be why the chamber was loaded with a live round.

Another source who was on set told TMZ that when police arrived they found live ammo and blank rounds stored in the same area, something only an idiot who knows nothing about firearms safety would do.

But the claims have not yet been officially confirmed.

The incident occurred on Thursday on the outskirts of Santa Fe, NM. Alec Baldwin, a staunch anti-gun advocate stupidly pointed the prop gun at Ms. Hutchins and pulled the trigger. He had not bothered to check for himself if the gun was loaded with a lethal round, and he did not bother to aim it in a safe direction--he just pulled the trigger and shot Hutchins in the chest. The bullet went through her body and struck Souza who was standing behind her. 

Halyna Hutchins died en route to the hospital and Souza has since been discharged from the hospital.

So the left immediately jumped on the chance to blame the gun and Alec Baldwin wept for being the idiot who killed an innocent woman. The press refuses to say that Baldwin shot her but instead says that the gun went off.

However, the armorer on the movie set, Hannah Gutierrez, was named in records filed Friday in Santa Fe, related to the shooting. The records state that the gun that took Hutchins' life and injured Souza was one of three that Gutierrez had set on a cart outside the building where a scene from the movie was being acted. Gutierrez had once admitted that she had doubts in her capabilities working on movie sets.

Gutierrez, who also goes by Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, appeared on the "Voices of the West" podcast last month where she admitted she was initially reluctant about her abilities.

"I just finished up working on ‘The Old Way’ with Nicolas Cage, his very first Western. It was also my first time being head armorer as well. You know, I was really nervous about it at first and I almost didn't take the job because I wasn't sure if I was ready. But doing it, it went really smoothly," she said.

Chaotic audio from the 911 call shows the distressing moment script supervisor Mamie Mitchell pleads for help.

“We had two people accidentally shot on a movie set by a prop gun, we need help immediately,” Mitchell told an emergency dispatcher. “We were rehearsing and it went off, and I ran out, we all ran out.”

The dispatcher asked if the gun was loaded with a real bullet, which Mitchell could not answer at the time but rather than blaming the person who pointed the gun at a person and pulled the trigger, she blamed the shooting on the film’s assistant director David Halls. The role is typically in charge of ensuring guns are safe on movie sets. But the final responsibility for gun safety is the person with the gun. Period.

Halls yelled out that the weapon was a “cold gun” before handing it to Baldwin, according to a search warrant issued on Friday.

“I cannot tell you. We have two injuries,” Mitchell replied. “And this (expletive) AD (assistant director) that yelled at me at lunch, asking about revisions … He’s supposed to check the guns. He’s responsible for what happens on the set.”

According to other reports, many crew members walked off the set of "Rust" in protest just hours before Alec Baldwin shot Halyna Hutchins and Joel Souza. They were protesting their concerns about safety, or the lack thereof.

The Los Angeles Times reported it had spoken with three crew members who were on the set of the film at Bonanza Creek Ranch in north central New Mexico leading up to the fatal shooting. The members complained that standard safety protocols were being ignored and the paper reported it had reviewed a text message sent by one of the crew members to the film’s unit production manager just before a live round was fired by Baldwin during filming.

“We’ve now had 3 accidental discharges. This is super unsafe,” that message reportedly read.

The sources said that there were a number of incidents with a prop gun on set, and nothing was done about it. In one incident, Baldwin’s stunt double had reportedly fired two rounds from a gun after being told it was inoperable, or “cold.”

“There should have been an investigation into what happened,” one of those people told the Times, citing issues with gun safety. “There were no safety meetings. There was no assurance that it wouldn’t happen again.”

Apparently, the anti-gun left, who make up most of Hollywood, enjoy dicking around with firearms and are clueless about how to safely handle them. Then they go and blame the guns instead of the shooters.

As an aside, on the day of the Baldwin incident, six camera crew workers walked off the job in protest of their working conditions that included long delays for paychecks, long hours on set, and long commutes to the movie site.

In the spirit of Joe Biden's mental status, Rust Movie Productions said in a statement that it was unaware of concerns over safety regarding the film’s production. They said they will  cooperate with authorities in the shooting incident, as if they have a choice.

Baldwin described his careless use of a firearm and killing of Halyna Hutchins as a "tragic accident," when he finally spoke about it the following day.

“There are no words to convey my shock and sadness regarding the tragic accident that took the life of Halyna Hutchins, a wife, mother and deeply admired colleague of ours,” Baldwin tweeted. “I’m fully cooperating with the police investigation to address how this tragedy occurred and I am in touch with her husband, offering my support to him and his family. My heart is broken for her husband, their son, and all who knew and loved Halyna.”

No immediate charges were filed, and sheriff’s spokesman Juan Rios said Baldwin was permitted to travel.

This should be a trigger warning.

Alec Baldwin discharges prop gun killing one, injuring another: latest info on incident

Had he taken even one NRA firearms safety course, anti First Amendment actor Alec Baldwin, 63, would not have discharged a prop handgun on a movie set that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, 42, and seriously injured Joel Souza, 48, the writer and director of the film they were doing at the time. Baldwin would have treated the gun as if it was loaded, even when he believed it wasn't. 

That's basic handgun safety.

According to the Santa Fe County Sheriff's office, the shooting occurred at the Bonanza Creek Ranch movie set where an independent film "Rust" was being filmed, which stars Baldwin. 

Juan Rios, a spokesman for the sheriff's office told the Alburquerque Journal that scene being filmed involved the use of a prop firearm," which discharged.

Since the fatal incident occurred, an eyewitness of the shooting came forward. 

Halyna Hutchins

Evidently, a bullet was discharged that struck Ms. Hutchins and went through her body and struck Souza in the clavicle. The set was immediately locked down and an ambulance and helicopters arrived taking Souza and Hutchins to the hospital but the latter died en route in a helicopter.

Meanwhile, Baldwin appeared to be in shock but was composed enough to imply that he was handed a "hot gun." The witness said he kept repeating, "In all my years, I've never been handed a hot gun."

Had he taken an NRA gun safety course, he would have treated all guns as if they were "hot guns," meaning that they were loaded with real ammunition.

Baldwin was also taken to the hospital to meet with the people he victimized but he didn't know Hutchins had died on the way.

No matter what anyone thinks about the carelessness of the prop person who handed Baldwin the gun, had he taken an NRA weapons safety training course, it would not have happened. 

Let's see if Baldwin tries to blame the gun rather than the person firing it. Perhaps he will even more vehemently advocate for gun confiscation and gun control, but even if that had been the case prior to the incident, Hutchins would still be dead, because Alec Baldwin had never been handed a "hot gun" before this hot gun was handed to him.

Obviously Baldwin did not intend for this to happen and he should not face jail time. But he needs to understand that all guns are loaded. Always. Even when they aren't. 

"Rust" is done.

Hamas founder shoots himself in the head: remains in critically dead condition

He was considered by many the world's most prestigious anti-Semite since Adolf Hitler. Imad al-Alami (aka "Mad Al") critically killed himself by accident when his personal weapon was pointing at his head when it went off.


Fawzy Barhoum (aka Lousy Fawzy) spokesman for the terror group made the announcement saying the genius shot himself on January 9th. It turns out Alami never took a gun safety course with the NRA or any other group that offers them.

It was reported that the bullet went right through his zabiba, pierced the brain killing all 2,004 cells instantly, and sent Alami on his journey to Jannah to meet his virgins.

Al-Alami, 61, with a matching IQ was "inspecting his personal weapon in his home and is in critical condition," Barhoum said at the time.

The Hamasshole was rushed to a Gaza City hospital where a crack team of online medical school graduates worked on him with no success.

Dr. Mamoud M. Mohammad, one of the attending online medical school graduates said, "Al-Alami looked so peaceful as he lay there on the table, with the blood pouring out of the hole in his head. We did all we could to save him and tried to repair his brain, but we didn't have much to work with and poof, he was gone."

Al-Alami was considered one of the Gaza terror group's most important assets, due to his close ties with the Iranian government, a major sponsor of Hamas. He also had a very warm, very close relationship with Hezbollah head Hassan Nasrallah, another client of the Iranian regime.

In recent years, al-Alami operated out of Turkey. He had been receiving medical treatment there and was scheduled to undergo anger management class there, but killed the teacher and refused to go to another class.

He was considered to be a founding father of Hamas and returned to the Gaza Strip in 2012, where he previously served as deputy chief of Hamas' Political Bureau [aka "The Office of Deception"] and once chaired its "Intifada Committee."

In November, 2016, al-Alami was said to have been selected as Hamasshole chief Ismail Haniyeh's designated successor and camel driver.

The shooting incident fueled a number of conspiracy theories. Some blame the Jews because they always blame the Jews for everything they can. Some blame Donald Trump. Some even say Donald Trump is a Jew and this is why he killed Alami.

The truth is, this couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
