    I’m pretty sure there are already procedures and those include never having real guns on a set. If you do have real guns on a set (why would you ever have real guns on a set) they should be physically separated, and visually distinct.

    Of course the real solution would just be to never have real guns on a set which of course is rule one that she broke. They didn’t need real guns, they had them there for no reason that’s why she’s guilty because she was doing a stupid thing for no good reason.

      There’s a bunch of things that should never happen. No real guns on set. No live ammo ever near those guns. No removing guns from set. No pointing guns at people. All the procedures getting skipped when a new person holds a prop.

      By blaming a person and one element of it, we leave everything else as it was and more accidents will eventually happen. Sooner or later a studio will want a non-union armorer that they can boss around again, who won’t have the authority to push back on things, and if we don’t learn now then it can all repeat.
