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.
