Seconds later, filming a scene inside an Old West-style church, Baldwin apparently aimed towards the camera and pulled the trigger.

So the message is: It doesn't matter how safe you think you are. It doesn't matter where you are. We can get to you even if you are in church.

Why are live rounds any where near a movie set? And why are there
not laws against them being with in a certain distance of any stage
or set?
Clearly I myself as a strong gun advocate. I can see no reason why
a common sense law of such isn't absolutely warranted. Having live
rounds and blanks anywhere near each other is asking for this to
happen. Why would live rounds ever be considered around people
who live their whole lives pretending?

The only issue I have with this being some secret assassin bullet placed in there on purpose to conveniently find it's way into this womans body, is that reports were saying they weren't even taking a shoot, they were just standing around talking about a scene or something and it went off and it hit her and someone else.
If that was the case, it then becomes the question, did Alec Baldwin commit murder or knew it had a live round in it?
Or was it just a pure accident?

The whole thing reeks of public assassination.

Quite the conspiracy theory.
The shot was during a set-up for a POV scene, as has been mentioned already. The gun must be aimed at the camera and fired to shoot that kind of scene. The victims were working the cameras manually to line up the shot while Baldwin practiced his fast draw (an accurate fast draw is NOT as easy as it may sound). All that sounds plausible, if the gun was loaded with blanks. Just another day on the set, apparently, except there shouldn't even have been blanks in a "cold gun."
It is possible that there was an issue with the blanks. I go into this in more detail in the other thread, but a blank can discharge high-velocity shrapnel from the end of the casing if not loaded properly, and they are notoriously hard to load properly. The film production already had a reputation for cutting cost corners (why the Union walked off the set), so it is apparently not too wild a speculation that someone tried to save a few bucks by using blanks loaded by a local.
So that works. Gun was loaded with blanks, AD did not identify it as such, Baldwin did not check it himself, and people trying to line up for the POV shot while he was practicing his fast draw were hit by shrapnel from a bad blank.
But, the ties to Hillary have me wondering now. I can see a potential other scenario:
If the AD and Baldwin were both in on the plan, a live bullet could have been inserted into the gun (which was a real gun, not a "prop gun" as many have tried to claim). Baldwin could have practiced his fast draw until the opportune moment, then completed the fast draw, making it look like an accident. Early accounts indicated that it was possible that a single projectile hit both victims, but that was an early assumption, probably based on the assumption that an actual bullet exited the gun. That's a reasonable assumption for police to make; only movie sets and idiots fire blanks.
One other thing that has me wondering is the gun was not supposed to have been fired in the first place. It was a practice run for a fast-draw, not to fire it. The two actions are practically indistinguishable form a spectator's point of view, but from the person doing the shooting's perspective, not so much. I know; I have practiced the fast draw many times. But there is always the possibility of accidental discharge when handling a weapon like that. I actually think there were probably more foot injuries than actual killings from fast draws in the Old West.
So there is the question of why did the gun go off when it did. That's actually two coincidences at the same time... accidental discharge with blanks, and a faulty blank.
So it boils down to this: were the victims hit with shrapnel from a brass casing, or with an actual bullet? Since there is absolutely no reason for any live ammunition to be anywhere on the set, an actual bullet would indicate that this conspiracy theory is quite plausible, and it would certainly implicate Baldwin. Had he not been in on the plan, there would be little chance he could kill the right person.
If the victims were hit with brass shrapnel, then this theory falls apart completely. It is almost impossible to aim such projectiles with any accuracy, and quite difficult to determine if the casing will even cause projectiles in the first place.
So I want to know: what was the object that came from the gun? Did the police find a bullet?
