Alec Baldwin's accidental Halyna Hutchins shooting prompts petition calling for a ban of real guns on sets
Fox News
A petition calling for a ban on the use of real firearms on film and TV sets has gained more than 25,000 signatures in light of the accidental shooting death of Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust.”
In a Change.org petition started by filmmaker Bandar Albuliwi, the thousands of people who have signed are calling on Baldwin specifically to use his "power and influence in the Hollywood film industry" to call for a ban on live firearms on sets.
"We need to make sure that this avoidable tragedy never happens again," the petition reads. "There is no excuse for something like this to happen in the 21st century. Real guns are no longer needed on film production sets. This isn't the early 90's, when Brandon Lee was killed in the same manner. Change needs to happen before additional talented lives are lost."
