And reporters over here worry about being cancelled. There are many types of "cancelled" and only a fine line between them. |

What We Lose When We Lose Thomas Jefferson New York City takes down the author of the Declaration of Independence. bariweiss.substack.com/p/what-we-lose-when-we-lose-thomas“Can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with his wrath?” Jefferson asked in his Notes on the State of Virginia. “Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep for ever.” |

They are executing their mission well. Our Media harps on very minor issues. This is a concerted effort to promote the failure of the USA 🇺🇸. |

Alec Baldwin and the Cold-Hot Gun. Thoughts on the Shooting on the film set of Rust.
Yes, it was the Armourer's responsibility to make sure that there were only blanks in the "prop" gun handed to Baldwin ... with which he killed one and wounded one, apparently with one bullet.
As any trained weapon owner knows ... as I was taught ... and as I taught my son ...
1. A gun is ALWAYS loaded (hot) until you personally ensure that it is not.
2. Never, ever point a gun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
The Armourer may be at fault, but Baldwin broke both of these rules, and seemingly pulled the trigger to boot.
Alec Baldwin is anti-gun.
If Alec Baldwin had been a trained gun owner, none of this would have happened.
Having said this, I still feel sorry for him ... as he is going to have to live with it.

It was just such a strange thing. The situation invites doubt and suspicion. |

To your points:
I've been fortunate enough to quail hunt a lot over the years. When we step down from the hunters seats high in the bed of the truck, the process is to hand your shotgun to the person on the ground while it is pointed up in a safe direction. I always ask if the gun is loaded. Of course the answer was always "no." But I always check. No less than four times it was loaded. The hunter had unloaded the magazine, but there was one in the chamber. Always follow number one and two above!
