The propmaster surely deserves some blame for this, just as in the Brandon Lee incident, but shouldn't someone who has FREQUENTLY been in films using prop firearms take the responsibility to learn how to verify the firearm is safe when receiving it from props? If nothing else, he doesn't want the prop blowing up in his own hands from a blocked barrel. Maybe I'm just crotchety about safety having taught Boy Scouts and been an RSO ...

If Hollywood is serious about their anti-gun message then the solution is simple: quit making action movies or any media that involves firearms. Guaranteed to turn out like Kelly Sue Deconnick telling comic book fans to stop buying her book if they don't like the politics she interjects in her writing. They did stop, her titles have tanked. Marvel and DC comics are so garbage now that many comic book shops have turned to selling only/mainly back issues to the collectors' market or simply folded.
