Well the person responsible for the death in this case is already in jail so this makes sense

Because that's the job of the armorer. The actors and actresses do not have the responsibility to make sure the gun is safe. Their insurance company would not allow them to do that. Why? Because if an actor is responsible for gun safety on the set, they wouldnt have even given them insurance. That's why they hire armorers. Do you really think Jennifer Gardner or some other actress that knows nothing about guns is sitting on the set checking all the guns lol? They don't even know anything about guns. They're basically little babies and everyone else tells them what to do on set. They're one and only job is to act. That's the way Hollywood has been for decades. Now, from what I understand he was also the producer. And that makes him a lot more responsible. So I will definitely give you that.

I mean the states own armorer expert testified that the armorer does not have that duty and that the actor holding the gun has the ultimate responsibility
