The producers of the movie"Rust" told crew members Monday that they were pausing production. At the same time, the investigation continues into last week's prop gun shooting that left cinematographer Halyna Hutchins dead and director Joel Souza hospitalized.
Armorer Larry Zanoff has supervised the use of guns and ammunition in movies and TV productions for more than 20 years. He said that the industry standards for handling firearms and blank ammunition are actually very stringent. "A cold gun would be totally unloaded, nothing in it," said Zanoff."A hot gun would be one loaded with a blank and ready to do gunfire. The guns should not get loaded until the first [assistant director] directs the armorer to load the specific gun."A general view shows a locked gate at the entrance to the Bonanza Creek Ranch, Oct. 22, 2021, in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
As the investigation continues, it remains unclear what part of the discharge killed Hutchins, but some have already called for an end to the use of live guns on set.
Nightline Sounds like it’s time for you to have a chat with your Congressman: 🇺🇸 Moral/Ethical issue for Alec Baldwin, “COLD gun.” He will not be criminally charged: 🇺🇸
Nightline Have you bothered asking why Baldwin didn’t check the gun?
Nightline AB should go to jail

Nightline thanks
Nightline I’m definitely an outsider, because I don’t understand the obsession for having to use guns in all these movies.All of my favorite movies have no guns and no violence. This country is just obsessed with stupid old guns.
Nightline There's no need for gun safety measures. If a queer, black or Muslim needs to use a gun, we have the right to for our own protection, especially a queer. 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
Nightline As it should be!
Nightline Why not use gun models and not the real guns?
Nightline Bless this guys heart. I wonder what type of protocols took place on Rust. Guns ain’t toys, man.
Nightline What animal do you think is hunted with the weapons in the background? Squirrel? Moose? Da Boris!
Nightline The VCR version of that quote.
Nightline I wouldn’t use resident evil as a reference as a stunt person lost an arm because of negligence
