Alec Baldwin Breaks Down, Says ‘I Didn’t Pull the Trigger’ During Fatal ‘Rust’ Shooting
- Thread starter Gian
- Start date
I just realized that even if your thumb slipped before the revolver reached full-cock, the hammer would just drop down to half-cock (or quarter-cock) unless you're finger had been pulling the trigger at the same time. JEEZ! I'm slow sometimes. That's some real sloppy gun handling if that's what he did. Or, it could be an actual malfunction. Still, them old gun designers really knew what they were doing.
Of course, if he said he never touched the trigger he better pray they can find something wrong with the gun. Or he'll be a lying bastard.
Yes, it will get interesting when the official report from authorities determines how the mechanism on this particular weapon is set up and works.
This single action Colt can’t fire itself.
Do notice that during this demonstration when he first cocks back the hammer he fails to cock it back all the way and his thumb slips off, but then the hammer merely stops at the half-cocked position as it will never descend all the way down and strike the cartridge to fire the bullet.
According to Alec's experience this demonstration in the video should have shown the hammer falling all the way down onto the cartridge and firing it.
There is no way Alec's gun could have fired without having also pulled the trigger unless the gun was modified to be what is known as a "slip gun" which is made solely for fanning without ever having to depress the trigger in order for the hammer to fall onto the cartridge and fire the bullet.

Strangely the democrat, lesbian District Attorney is now giving commentary with a brief interview on the same network in response to Alec's interview...
Oh yeah. Alec was one of the most outspoken cult leftists of the nineties and worshipped at the feet of the Clintons. I still think he ate Hillary's snatch after he dusted it with an eight ball of coke back in her younger days.

Trump should sue him for defamation after the sabotage rumors, that would be the cherry on top.
I was at a large sporting goods store in Puget Sound browsing guns when the gun counter clerk was approached by a middle-aged White woman. She loudly complained that the pistols in the glass case were pointed out into the store. He explained that they're unloaded and unable to fire, but she asked "What if they just go off?" These people exist, as cartoonish as they sound.
I'm not shocked by that at all.
Baldwin won't be charged but he should be because a single 6 can't fire unless the hammer is pulled all the way back or the hammer hasn't been pulled back to the first click "safe position " and is resting on the bullet primer, then it could accidentally go off if dropped.
But he fired twice which means he cocked the hammer twice, probably while having a tantrum.
