Our local newspaper is anti-gun, and the entertainment section is packed with ads featuring movie stars pointing guns.
Money talks, I guess. I wonder if Baldwin will shoot guns in future movies.

I think the last fatality that occurred on a big-budget picture was over
25 years ago.Anyway, the "ruling class" in America is solidly right-wing. Otherwise there would've probably been a universal health care system by now...
Yes, they know their audience, and there are definitely not enough Godless leftists to keep them in business alone. Why do I wanna watch a movie about some old-timey gunslingers? I have no interest personally.
And Hollywood is really all about money, not guns.
Learn the difference between homicide and murder. Murder is a subset of homicide.
The scene must have called for a closeup of Baldwin firing the weapon right into the camera, or close to it. The blast could have blown something loose from the camera assembly and into the victims. That's not likely to be something they would test out in advance.
What's really telling is Hollywood's the-show-must-go-on attitude despite personal tragedy. There are many movies wherein someone was killed, usually a stuntman, and that doesn't stop them from finishing the production and releasing the film.
Hollywood is weird. The whole American film industry is weird. Any amount of violence is acceptable, but showing a nipple is taboo. Weird.

Eddie Hernia must be dyslexic: he posted the same garbage THREE TIMES!
Yes, he shot at the camera. No, the victims were hit by a real bullet.
Baldwin's movies, glorifying violence, have no doubt killed many more people.
Doe stopped being able to distinguish fantasy from reality a while back.
Nowhere does the news say a real bullet was involved. They do say the police are still trying to figure out what the projectile was.
They figuratively alienate half the country, who still buy their product all the time. Who's going to see a picture about old-timey gunslingers, inter sectional feminists? Is that their favorite genre
Good point. Maybe a paper wad went went clean through the lady who died and then injured the guy.
Doe the type of guy to watch a Hollywood picture five times just to make sure how degenerate it all was, and become the expert on telling other people what a bunch of degenerates they are for making this film he watched five times.

I doubt a paper wad would do more than hurt.
When Brandon Lee was killed in a similar type of accident a bullet from a dummy round used in one scene had gotten stuck in the barrel, so when the gun was used with blank rounds in another scene it was like a live round
even if antigun, if you have to be around guns and work with guns it is a good idea to learn some basic firearms safety...
"Some countries" includes the USA.
So is nudity, so is sex. That can't be the reason.

The good guy usually wins. Plus, he gets the pretty girl if there's one around.
The news says a "single round" was fired - while a blank can severely injure you at close range, it is not going to travel thru your body and seriously injure another.
This set was beleaguered with safety problems. This movie production was a safety nightmare: how do you allow ANY live rounds on the set at all? And if you do need live rounds for certain shoots, why were they not secured in a separate, locked area that only the armorer had access to?
Alec "The Jerk" Baldwin is a big union supporter - for OTHER COMPANIES! He fired his union crew and replaced them with nonunion workers.
