Some people have asked me if today's video will be on this.

It will not. Right now we don't have enough details for a full discussion of things, and it appears to be a tragic accident. It's not clear what caused it--I've seen differing reports saying a live cartridge was in the gun, others saying it was a wad, others saying it was a barrel obstruction. We don't know.

We don't know what safety protocols were in place, and whether or not they were being followed.

The movie industry, by necessity, ends up following different safety rules than most firearm users. Rules like "Do not point the firearm at something you are not willing to destroy" end up getting put to the wayside for cinematic needs, but that means that it is absolutely essential that the firearm be known to be safe at the time.

I will say that I don't think that this is a time to be engaging in mockery or the like. This is a tragic circumstance, and deserves to be approached in a respectful manner. I am planning to do a video discussing it, but only at a point where I can do so in a way that adds to the dialogue by discussing things intelligently, and based on more than pure conjecture.
