    I have an outlandish conspiracy theory.

    Husband conspired with Baldwin to eliminate his wife, make it look like an accident, and collects millions in insurance money and they split the proceeds.

    The marriage was on shaky ground, and an accidental death is much much more profitable than a divorce.

    I know. I read way too many murder mysteries!

    Wow. Maybe it was Biden's doing to ban guns.

    Not for sure. Pietta makes replica revolvers.
    Nice ones, too!

    But! According to the "News Propaganda Release".....

    This must be the "short model"....

    A "long" model is surely the 7-1/2" barrel length?

    But do they make long Colt .45 revolvers?
    Probably. Just like they make "short" Colt revolvers!

    Technically and by most, 45 Long Colt never really existed. Still seems to be debated by some though. As there was the 45 S&W Schofield, that some have referred to as the 45 Short Colt.



    But in all honesty, I doubt that any of those making that reference knew that information, or were smart enough to bother researching it.

    Today we have a media article helping us understand that Baldwin is the real victim of the Rust killing. After all, these case histories of 4 accidental killers show us how they live eith life long remorse, self loathing and PTSD.

    After reading this article, I amlost wept for the douche.

    I still feel no sympathy for him at all. None. Not even a smidge. He chose to handle a dangerous weapon, supposedly with no knowledge of how it worked or the safety protocols involved. He has been involved with enough films with guns that he should know the one cardinal rule he should have known that would have kept it from happening.
    Always assume a gun is loaded.
    Most of the example in the article do not contain that level of disregard for the life or safety of another person.
    No matter how the gun came to be loaded on set, that one thing could have saved a life and an injury.
    Always assume a gun is loaded and don't point it at anything you are not willing to shoot. Especially if you have not personally cleared the gun.
    I know non gun owners and anti gun owners that know and understand that rule.
    Baldwin is full of shit. He wants sympathy for a lack of judgement and for being stupid.
    He gets none from me.
    Mine goes to those he shot and their families. Baldwin can choke on his self pitty for all I care.

    .45 S&W = 45 Short & Weak (Smith and Wesson would rather not have to say "Colt" in their cartridge description)

    Like Glock refusing to put Sig's name on their guns, calling their .357 Sig ".357 Auto" in the rollmarks and in literature about the gun. I think they just refer to .40SW as ".40" on the chambers.
