I don't know about everyone on set - not everyone will even be cleared to handle them at all let alone start fiddling with them or inspecting them... And even if they were, it's not a very good idea to start "checking" guns if you don't know how to handle them, that's how MOST firearms accidents happen.

But yes everyone involved in handling the gun in any way should have checked it including Baldwin, and those in charge of the production had a responsibility to make sure everything was being done with the right procedures.

This is what i meant , obviously i don't mean literally everyone ...as like you say it would have to be people who know how to handle a gun. I guess with it being America aswell... chances are more people over there have more of an understanding and experience with guns than over here.

Someone has sadly lost their life over such tragic stupid negligence, and the people involved have to be held accountable .

And as i keep saying ... why were they even using REAL BULLETS to start with. They can do so much with technology/CGI and props today, without putting themselves and people around them in real danger and jeopardy. It just doesn't make sense to me... on the choices for this film.
