Capitol Hill Blue Forums Political Issues Guns In production movie Rust

All I want to point out is the fact that we've had real guns "on set" with real bullets for as long as motion pictures have existed.
Literally MILLIONS of rounds fired and through it all the number of shooting deaths in production has been remarkably rare.
Movies and television have a damn good track record on this for a reason.

Breaking Bad
Saving Private Ryan
Apocalypse Now
Full Metal Jacket
Scarface
Forrest Gump

I could fill ten pages right here if I tried to list all the movies and TV shows that used real guns with real bullets ALONG WITH "cold" prop guns.
And the reason WHY we haven't seen tons of actors and crew dropping like flies is because on an I.A.T.S.E. union set, you either follow the RULES or you're GONE in a heartbeat.

This film "RUST" was a non-union turkey and the best IATSE on set armorers turned DOWN the chance to work with Alec Baldwin BECAUSE they could see from a mile off that it was a set of giant red flags.
