I had no negative thoughts towards anyone involved in this tragedy, no political axe to grind or obligation to defend Baldwin, I was just willing to wait for an investigation to conclude and determine what happened that caused this.

However, with Baldwin dumping such a bald faced lie out like that has changed my opinion and strongly makes me inclined to think that after all the attempts to throw the armorer and others under the bus that Baldwin may be much to blame if he was compelled to try to float such an egregious claim.

I'll still wait for the investigation but if someone is throwing out garbage like that it is a huge red flag.

I did feel bad for Baldwin at first, but now that he is lying something is up. He should do some jail time for this.

So, it is somewhat conceivable that the gun could have had such a light trigger pull that Baldwin could have pulled the trigger without really intending to.

But the hammer would still have to have been fully cocked first and that's not something you do by accident.
I believe your correct on this .Howeber I would have a hard time believeing this is the first time he ever handled this revolver.

If he didn't intend to shoot, why did he have his finger on the trigger or inside the trigger guard?????

I have no problem expecting that Baldwin does not practice proper trigger control.

Alec is brainless and soulless, and every time he speaks we are reminded.
Most people would blame themselves for something like this, but all he does is shift blame.
Actors are allowed to check the gun, and he didn't.

That process started with Baldwin the exact same moment he shot the two people.
