In a commercial situation like a monster truck exhibition, there is president that the operator can be held liable for foreseeable mechanical failure that injures people.

This wasn’t a kid playing with his mom’s gun. It was a commercial production.

Yes, you should that’s like the number one rule of handling actual firearms.

I feel like we are minimizing the fact they were using actual fully functional fire arms on a set which is absolutely not normal.

I just want to objectively point out that OPs math is fairly accurate.

What Percentage of Americans Own Guns? 40%, or approximately more than 82,000,000 Americans own guns.

So, approximately 0.0006695% of gun owners experienced a negligent discharge that resulted in death.

If you’re doing a scene where you throw acid on somebody is the person throwing the acid supposed to check to make sure it’s not actually acid before they throw it?

Should they check to make sure the knife they’re about to stab someone with is actually a prop?

I think any reasoning person would say the answer is “yes”. Ultimately you are responsible for your own actions.

Think about it like this, remove the context of this being a movie. Your friend hands you a gun and says it’s not loaded, should you check before firing the gun at someone? Your friend hands you a bucket of “not acid” and tells you to throw it on someone. Do you check that it’s really not acid first?

It seems like the suggestion is that the film set is removing these base line responsibilities for our own actions and I don’t think that’s very reasonable.

Can this do web searches though?

With what OS?

I thought that was cloud streaming.

Wtf is “acute autism”? I don’t think it works like that lol.

Me working on graphics and audio programming all day.

Suspicious that this article was written by Joseph Cox.

I don’t think so
