Someone in the media finally calls out Baldwin and his wife for what has gone on with them from the day after the death on set. "How you say in English … Just shut up and go away? After parading around Vermont all weekend, staging a bizarre, impromptu roadside press conference and then posting happy-family Halloween portraits on Instagram, Alec Baldwin and his insufferable fraud of a wife eee-LAR-ia have lost any public sympathy they once had. Boom. Gone. All in about a week. “Parenting through this has been an intense experience, to say the least,” Hilaria posted on Halloween night. Really? Hilaria may want to talk to Halyna Hutchins’ widower about what it’s been like parenting their young son “through this intense experience,” his mother shot to death on a movie set. But no: Feel sorry for the Baldwins, won’t you? “Halloween,” she wrote. “From the Baldwinitos.” This is really sick, on so many levels. Those kids still aren’t Spanish, yet Hillary from Boston keeps pushing that lie. Nor can she stay off Instagram, no matter how bad it makes her and her husband look — to say nothing of the legal and financial jeopardy her husband is in, a husband who may find it exceptionally hard to ever get insured on a film set again. You know, get work and make money." Yes, go out for coffee, get a window seat and feign collapsing into your wife's arms. That's a real good one. Not transparent at all. The man has no respect for the public and figures to pull off such melodramatic junk. "Yet the Baldwins, in all their malignant narcissism, would have us keep our eyes on their particular freak show, one rife with bad acting, ill-advised activity and Alec’s strange aura of imperviousness. You get the sense that Baldwin’s pretty sure he won’t be criminally charged and that all this overacting — how many photos were taken of Alec this weekend with his head in his hands after he was caught shopping at Ralph Lauren, or going on a coffee run, or sitting at a bar in Vermont, in a restaurant he and Hilaria bought out, right in front of a large window so the paparazzi could get their unobstructed shots? — is just to stave off a civil lawsuit." nypost.com/2021/11/01/alec-and-hilaria-baldwins-sickening-act-for-sympathy/?utm_campaign=nypevening&utm_source=sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20211101&lctg=607d8edc70302947037df991&utm_term=NYP%20-%20Evening%20Update

"And yes, my firearms are all stored, unloaded; and when I take them out the first thing I do is check that they are unloaded. Even though I'm the one who put them away."
I have but two firearms. Until a couple of months ago they were stored in a locked cabinet. I had no ammo for either. Recently we have had a couple of armed break ins in the small town where we live. In both cases they were punks from a nearby city breaking into what they thought were unoccupied homes. In one house the family was home and the news report of the terrified family hiding in a closet was frightening.
Now I sleep with a M1911 fully loaded in my nightstand and a loaded 12 ga double barrel under our bed. The difference is that I know that both guns are loaded.

Well, my uncle who collected guns had a lot of his collection (and other stuff) stolen in a break-in. I don't think they got what was in the gun safe, but he had some on display as well. One of his purchases thereafter was a handgun, kept loaded, that he fully planned to "kill the SOB's" if they tried breaking into his house when he was home. Having break-ins in a local area is enough to require some sort of protective action. We don't have them (there are areas of Tucson where I wouldn't want to live, however), but one fellow a few streets over was dying of (something slow) and had every window and door in the home fixed with security bars, etc. "to keep his wife safe" after he was gone.

This will be a short conversation. Just you and me I figure. I have 80 odd fire arms, but my bedroom gun is a Springfield Arms 9 mm with a red dot sight. I keep an empty chamber. House break-ins exist, but way less than in more metropolitan states. It seems every bed has a gun under it in Montana. I figure if you or I had been the on-set armorer that young lady would still be alive.

I envy your collection. Do you concentrate on any particular type of gun. I have always been interested in guns but never had the means to own more than a half dozen at a time. I grew up in Vermont before it went Bernie. Everyone had guns. No one got shot. These days if you are a gun collector you probably considered a "gun nut" - at least outside of Montana.
I'll confess that this is the 1st time I have kept a loaded fire arm in my house. I never felt the need before. I'm really comfortable with the Colt locked and loaded. I have a lot of time with that gun.
We wouldn't last a week on Baldwin's set. I learned gun safety first from my father and then later from a hairy assed old Chief Gunner's Mate in the Navy. Neither of them would tolerate the kind of incompetence shown on that set.

Neither of them would tolerate the kind of incompetence shown on that set. my collection is rather eclectic from the Russian 1891 Mosin Nagant rifle and its later modified brethern to a few Sig Sauer present day 9s and 45s. I'm most infatuated with older guns, like the Savage 99 lever action hunter. Also fond of the older hand guns. Have 5 Star (Spanish) Super Bs in 9mm. Bought 1 and fell in love, so .... They look like M1911s and have the most superb trigger action/pull. The US movie industry has used them extensively because they fire blank 9mm much more reliably than 45s.

I owned a Model 99 for a couple of years. A great deer rifle.

Baldwin's ridiculous claim in the recent puff piece interview that he did not pull the trigger has spurred the production of a number of videos explaining the workings of the Colt single action and the Pieta replica used on the Rust set. Here's one of them. I saw 2 yesterday that were better, but dopey didn't save them.

So we just learned that the prosecutors slept on Baldwin's cell phone until a few days ago. What are the odds his phone hasn't been sanitized? Meanwhile he and his lawyer keep trying to focus the investigation on who brought the live rounds (100s) on set. There were two live round incidents on set before the unfortunate death and wounding AND it's Baldwin's set with a duty of care. Furthermore the sheriff reported that many loose live rounds were scattered on a table on the set. The failure to investigate and tighten up gun safety after the 2 prior incidents reveals a reckless disregard for saftey with lethal firearms and ammunition. Baldwin has always been an arrogant, reckless wild man and this unfortunate series of events fit the pattern. www.foxnews.com/entertainment/alec-baldwin-attorney-proactively-requested-warrant-protect-actor-family
