NEW YORK—Alec Baldwin told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in an interview airing Thursday that he did not pull the trigger on a prop gun he was holding on a New Mexico film set when it went off, killing a cinematographer.“I didn’t pull the trigger,” Alec Baldwin said. “I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger at them. Never.”Watch below: (Tweet/Video) It is Baldwin’s first sitdown interview since the Oct. 21 shooting on the set of the western film “Rust.” Authorities have said Baldwin was told the gun was safe to handle

I recognize that the Feast of the Immaculate Conception is this month but Mr. Baldwin is stretching the limits of physics and common sense. Guns do not fire themselves period, especially a revolver.

Did he also stick his fingers in his ears, squeeze his eyes shut and shout, "La la la la la la la la"?

I think he's cracking up. He really must be clinically delusional to think he didn't pull the trigger.

If you repeat a lie often enough, some people will believe you.
I expect a hum-dinger of a civil suit....and this movie will be a dud.

A single action .45 Colt must be cocked and the trigger must be pulled! It takes around 6 pounds of pressure! Once fully cocked, the gun cannot magically fire by itself! He’s lying!

True "gun violence".
Single action old west pistols have to be cocked manually before they can shoot. You can't just pull the trigger.
So I guess the gun somehow jacked it's hammer all the way back and locked. Then it sensed danger from that lady with the big camera thingy, and defended itself by pulling its own trigger. That'll hold up in court, yeah.

Following the chain of custody for the weapon on the "Rust" movie set, Alec Baldwin had the weapon in his hand when it was fired and killed a member of the production company. Based on all that I have seen reported Baldwin should be considered a suspect in placing a live round in the gun and then firing the live round.

Guns, SUVs, whatever: Democrats always want to attribute guilt to the tool rather than the perpetrator.

First off he went right to ABC who would be more than happy to cover for him. He tells them he didn't pull the trigger so someone else pulled the trigger. If someone else pulled the trigger who could it be?

Liar.
The gun won't fire if the hamner doesn't hit the primer of the cartridge. The hammer doesn't fall unless the trigger is pulled.
He pulled the trigger.
Guns are simple mechanical devices, work as designed, unless broken or altered. A simple post accident check will have shown whether the gun is broken or altered. If it was, it would have been BIG news already.

Sorry Alec, that gun didn’t jump into your hand, point and fire all by itself.

So…. a month on and no charges at all against anyone on the set. Just a tragic accident, I guess. No responsibility for anyone. Couldn’t have been avoided. Santa Fe, where the incident is being investigated, is a huge liberal $hithole. Sweep it under the rug.

Guns just don't go off. Especially a single action revolver that must be cocked before it is fired.

So this is what his expensive lawyers came up with? Everyone already knows he pulled the trigger. The body language, the apologies, the phony grief? Will he claim that it was all acting and now he’s telling the truth? I’ve always kind of thought he was unhinged. He’s actually nuts.

#7 is exactly right--the 1876 Colt or a copy of the design-- must have the hammer cocked all the way back and the trigger must be pulled. It is a single action design. This should be a manslaughter case with Baldwin charged for a negligent discharge of a delay weapon. He can't wish it away.

Must have been Baldwin's fairy god-mother that pulled the trigger then.

One advantage that midget demorat stooge George Stepinpoopalot [sp?] has over other demorat stooges is that he doesn't have to get on his knees to perform the function when demorat royalty shows up.
