| Guys, today we're going to talk a little bit more about the Alec Baldwin shooting tragedy where he shot a young lady on the set of his movie Rust. | |
| He doesn't feel guilty. | |
| He did an interview with George Stephanopoulos. | |
| Obviously, that's where, you know, the liberals, I guess, go for their sympathy. | |
| But let's talk a little bit about what he says. | |
| He says essentially, I didn't pull the trigger. | |
| The trigger wasn't pulled. | |
| I'm actually shocked he didn't blame Trump. | |
| I'm shocked that the rest of Hollywood and the media hasn't somehow figured out a way to blame Trump for this one yet. | |
| But you know watch what he says and then we'll talk a little bit about it and how these guns function ever pull | |
| the trigger No, no, I would never point a gun at it when I pull the | |
| trigger at them. Never. What did you think happened? | |
| How did a real bullet get on that set? | |
| I have no idea Someone put a live bullet in a gun a bullet that wasn't | |
| even supposed to be on the property. Okay, so you heard that | |
| Like, now maybe there's some truth to that, but the only other way for a single action revolver to go off would be to physically pull the hammer back and let it slip. | |
| Okay? That action is significantly more deliberate and Harder than pulling a trigger, okay? | |
| It's not like a Dirty Harry movie where you pull the trigger, the hammer comes back and slams forward, okay? | |
| That starts the process of firing off the bullet, right? | |
| Hammer comes down, firing pin hits a primer, primer explodes, sets off an ignition that lights the gunpowder, gunpowder expands, creates pressure, sends the bullet down the bore, right? | |
| That's how this works. But because this is an old Western, okay, single-action revolvers You had to physically cock the hammer back before you could pull the trigger. | |
| Or there was something called fanning. | |
| When you see them shooting fast, they're going like this. | |
| They're holding the trigger in and fanning. | |
| So theoretically, you could pull a hammer back and let it slip, but in Alec Baldwin's mea culpa, it's like, I didn't do anything. | |
| It's like, well, wait a minute. Pulling the hammer back is much harder than pulling the trigger. | |
| The trigger releases a sear. | |
| It's a much lighter tension than pulling back physically the hammer enough to get it to slam forward And set off the process in question that killed this young lady tragically on the set of his movie. | |
| So, you know, when he does this, oh, it's not my, I would never point a loaded gun at someone. | |
| Well, you're cocking that hammer back. | |
| That physically, again, takes more pounds, generally speaking, than pulling a trigger. | |
| A trigger's pretty light. Pulling this hammer back is difficult because the counter response is that same spring that you have to pull back has to pull that hammer forward fast enough to set off the primer and get the process going on. | |
| So do we believe Alec Baldwin any of this? | |
| Like, you know, he doesn't feel any guilt because he did nothing wrong. | |
| He did nothing wrong. | |
| He pointed a gun at someone, didn't check to see if it was loaded, right? | |
| First rule of gun safety. | |
| Don't aim a firearm at something you're not willing to destroy. | |
| Other rule of gun safety, check to make sure it's not loaded. | |
| Alec Paul, he's immune to that, right? | |
| Because he's anti-Second Amendment. | |
| He wants to make sure, and he'll campaign to make sure that you can't have the right to protect yourselves, your loved ones, your family. | |
| But, but... | |
| That does not stop him from profiteering off of guns, doing westerns, action movies, whatever it may be. | |
| He can make millions from guns and gun culture, but you can't have one. | |
| Okay? Again, it's never his fault. | |
| And again, I'm surprised they didn't blame Trump. | |
| But remember when you're talking about this, an additional and or more deliberate step. | |
| He either had to pull back his hammer physically much harder on a single-action revolver because I... Having shot probably hundreds of thousands of rounds, owning lots of guns, doing this all the time, have probably a far greater understanding than the media reporting on it and the lawmakers who make our gun laws who clearly don't know what the hell they're talking about when they're enacting these kind of policies. | |
| You can see that simply by reading it. | |
| The people who draft the rules and the laws and the people who talk about them on TV have no idea what they're talking about. | |
| Just like Joe Biden, you know, firing off warning shots in the air, which would be illegal in most cases and in almost all cases. | |
| The AR-14? | |
| I don't know what that is, but I'd like one. | |
| So, keep in mind that either an additional step had to take place, he had to physically cock the hammer before pointing the gun at someone and pulling the trigger, or he had to pull something back that's pretty hard, let it slip while aiming it at someone after not having checked the gun. | |
| Either way, this whole thing doesn't make any sense and it's something that people aren't talking about because it's an additional, possibly, or a more deliberate step than simply pulling the trigger, right? | |
| This isn't like some magic like Star Wars e-gun that you imagine it and it just fires because it's a machine. | |
| An action creates another action which starts the process. | |
| Okay? Single-action revolvers, far more difficult probably than most other guns, certainly guns of today, to get firing because of the additional steps, because of the difficulty of pulling these things. | |
| Again, it doesn't just magically happen like Alec would probably want you to believe. | |
| Like an actor will try to sell to the American public on George Stephanopoulos, a lot had to happen. | |
| Whether it's cocking it all the way and pulling the trigger, whether it's pulling it back far enough to create enough spring tension to let it slam forward, these were deliberate actions. | |
| They didn't just magically happen. | |
| You didn't just tinker with it a little bit and that's what created the discharge. | |
| A lot here went wrong, and Alec Baldwin could have stopped had they followed any basic safety protocols. | |
| But of course, again, like everything else, folks, the left is immune to common sense. | |
| The left is immune to the rules that they would impose on others. | |
| They don't have to follow them. |
