I find it terrible that the young lady died. However, I find some irony in Alec Baldwin doing this. He killed more people than any citizen did on January 6th.

Uh, one has absolutely NOTHING to do with the other...

Err, ok? He has still killed fewer people than Ghengis Khan, but I'm not sure what either statement has to do with anything at all...

There's no making sense of Baldwin's comments because they're nonsensical attempts to CYA. Instead the interview  expands the list of reasons for prosecutors to charge him.

My take (for what it's worth, knowing enough about firearms to know how to disassemble, clean, reassemble and RESPECT them and only word of mouth about AB) is that his interview did not do him any good whatsoever.

yeah, for sure.   he is making it worse by staying thing that might sound good to him, but are obvious to his parents... wait to people who know more about guns.  He is acting childishly if he really think that people will not check the gun and if not completely broken will not know that he straight up lied about not touching the trigger.

I think his quote about what the son said to him, come on - I'm calling BS on that.  And it's these silly lies, these stupid comments about "not knowing".  I genuinely don't think he acted with malice, or even WILLFUL ignorance - but when you tell such lies that people question them, they will also question everything else!

Refusing cross-draw (opposite hand draw) training when you're going to be performing a cross-draw is just ridiculous. And most of the discovery/testimony from the civil lawsuits should be usable in criminal court.
