In response to your post of October 11, 2021, “The Purpose of Staged Shootings,” it occurred to me that the possibility exists that the incident involving Alec Baldwin could have been staged. As most of us realize, what is the chance that a loaded gun would “appear” on a movie set without a purpose? Shifting concern toward gun control rather than focusing on the criminals that are responsible for this tragedy is deplorable.

I like your thinking. Everything is fake until proven real. I would not even rush to conclude that an actual tragedy occurred.
One quick question I have is: How does one accidentally fire a gun without cocking it first? Also real guns are much heavier than prop guns. Didn’t Baldwin notice that?
