In other words, the safety protocols involving guns on movie and television productions work perfect\u2014<em>if they\u2019re followed<\/em>.

Now we\u2019re going to have them watching over all this?<\/p>\n<p>Alec Baldwin has my sympathy. This was an accident, and it\u2019s a helluva thing for a man to live with. But virtue signaling with totally irrational and unnecessarily expensive safety protocols is not the answer. Instead, everyone needs to take a deep breath, wait for the investigation, and respect <em>The System<\/em> already in place.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to ensure no one is ever again accidentally shot on a movie and television set is swift accountability for those who violated safety protocols.
