I see why Hollywood is afraid of firearms - Alec Baldwin kills set employee

It is illegal for a felon to possess a firearm.

So a blue polymer gun would be OK. I would not handle a real gun made "inoperable".

Just curious in regards to felons: Do guns manufactured before 1888 (I cannot remember the exact year), Still count as firearms in regards to a felon? I’m sure that manufacture date is slightly off.

1898 and no, not a firearm

The term “firearm” means (A) any weapon (including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon; (C) any firearm muffler or firearm silencer; or (D) any destructive device. Such term does not include an antique firearm.

Would a non-functioning "prop" gun be illegal for a felon to handle?

Danny Trejo is a convicted (and impressively reformed) felon, and he handles blank-firing firearms in most of his movies in some capacity or another. There's some kind of carve-out in play there, otherwise he'd have a very difficult time being an action star. It might be the simple fact that most movie guns are modified so they'll only fire blanks.

I suppose it depends on the state. Black powder guns aren't firearms but, iirc, Texas prohibits their possession by felons.

If I were a felon, I wouldn't pick up a Nerf gun. For felons, this issue justifies rampant paranoia.

You bring up another question to my wandering mind, if he’s convicted in New Mexico and does a film in Tennessee would he be subjected to the felony rules of New Mexico or Tn (let’s pretend they’re different)?

Let’s say they want to do a film in some Third World shit hole that doesn’t have any “felony “restrictions would he still be subject to the terms from New Mexico while he’s in that country?

I would not think that a prop gun would be illegal for them to handle.

Definitely a question for a lawyer if they can even be around “access to” real firearms in the setting of what you would have with a movie set

That countries laws apply and most won't allow felons from other countries unless you can pay them enough.

It is a Federal offense, so the Federal Law applies in all states/possessions. State laws may vary.

Whether or not his US conviction counts in a foreign country is up to that foreign country.

US citizens convicted in foreign countries do not count in the US for purposes of gun prohibition.

Mark Wahlberg is a convicted felon. Most of his action movies have him handling non-firearm replicas powered by propane. I imagine DJ is in the same boat....

Don't forget Sean Penn's felonies - he's done movies with guns before, pretty sure.

What a beta.

I’m a pretty easy going guy. But for whatever reason I’ve had the urge to beat the crap out of that guy.

I’ve wanted to do that 4-5 times in my entire life. It’s been very rare. But I’m pretty sure he is in desperate need of an ass kicking.

Judge Makes Key Ruling in Alec Baldwin ‘Rust’ Movie Shooting Civil Case​

WARNING: Very boring.

27 minute video.

What is the "key ruling"?

This lawyer is a fkn idiot. STFU already.

I got 3 minutes in. The Judge is a moron, as well.

I like how the lawyer positions his webcam so it looks like he is lower than the Judge, like in Court when before the bench. Clever shyster.

Why did you post a 27min. video which you only watched 3 minutes?

I thought some people are invested in this shitshow. Isn't this the spot for " Breaking News" on Rust shooting? It's just a diversion, anywho.

There is no TGT requirement to watch the videos, just like I post a ton of stuff in good gun deals- I don't buy any of those, either.

They’ve instructed the jury to use proper pronouns. Misgendering can lead to contempt of court. He/she/cat/POS (Baldwin)
