On a movie set, yes.

The people who are licensed and insured to ensure gun safety are the ones responsible for it.

Im not sure why you're hellbent on making it seem like all of the rules for gun safety on set werent followed.

I am telling you that a person handling a gun is responsible for that gun, this is gun ownership 101 and it doesn't get overridden but by contract law or set hierarchy.

The only reason this argument worked here is because prosecutor decided so, full stop

People can make up their own minds why tje prosecutor do this for a rich "influencer" lol

Quick hypothetical.

If every actor on set messed with the blanks they were given do you think there would be more gun related deaths on the set of a movie, or less?

Keep in mind there have only been two deaths since 1993, brandon lee and this incident.
