“But it was a blank! It couldn’t kill anybody!”
Anybody remember Brandon Lee?
Brandon Lee was killed by a prop gun, years before the ‘Rust’ shooting death : NPR
Lee, who was the son of martial artist Bruce Lee, died after his co-star, actor Michael Massee, fired at him with a prop gun during filming on March 30, 1993, in Wilmington, North Carolina. Although the revolver was loaded with blanks, the gunpowder in the blank cartridge ignited, leading Massee to unknowingly fire a bullet fragment at Lee, who later died in surgery.
Guns kill. Period. It is not an attention getter, it is not a security blanket. It is an instrument of death.
Investigators do not think alcohol was a factor in the shooting.
Stupidity, however…

“The fact that he’s a police officer really is a pretty scary thought because who do we turn to now to protect our children?” Schonhorst said.
They are getting there. So close…
