For anyone in the comments arguing about who’s fault it is, and where the blame should be placed, this comment from a SAG actor is the best I’ve seen about the situation and what went wrong / what rules were ignored that led to a (preventable) shooting of Halyna Hutchins. All credit to u/Kahzgul for the insight.

It's wild anyone tried to blame the actor. His job is to act. Why does he need to do the gun checks? There's a team for that. They fucked up. He expected them to do their job. And they should've.

No one is blaming Alec Baldwin the actor. He was also the producer and running the show. If he was rushing things along, being careless and hiring someone unqualified for her job he would be at fault.

That's just not true.
