It's interesting to me that in the gun world personal responsibility is paramount, everyone is responsible for safety.
In Hollywood there is no personal responsibility. No one is liable. It's one big oopsie moment.
In the gun world (the real world), I'm my own armorer. I don't have someone on payroll who is supposed to be an ever-present expert to safety check, store, and catalog everything for me. I'm willing to bet that most of these actors may have never even handled a gun off-set... but I'm absolutely not against giving them basic safety training. It would certainly stand to reason.
This seems to be the case. Personally I'm clearly on the side of the gun world, I think it's high time we stop letting actors treat guns as toys, it is so irresponsible and clearly leads to deaths, and it is litterally just this video. Sure, accidents can still happen like Brandon Lee's, but Cooper's Four Rules is an absolute bare minimum standard that they should have to meet before holding a gun capable of firing live rounds (even if there are no live rounds on set, it is an 8 minute video, it really isn't that much.
Every time you go to a new indoor range, they require you to watch a breif safety video like the one above, this is literally the one they make you watch at one of my local ranges. I'm not asking for a dissertation on the mechanical workings of the Krag, I'm asking for the most basic safety precautions.
