Fox News
A California state senator is pushing to ban "live" guns from movie sets after the tragic death of a worker on the set of "Rust" after Alec Baldwin fired a gun he'd been told was unloaded.
"There is an urgent need to address alarming work abuses and safety violations occurring on the set of theatrical productions, including unnecessary high-risk conditions such as the use of live firearms," Cortese said.
Blank cartridges, which contain gunpowder but no solid projectile, are often used in film productions, according to The Wrap. The spray of heat and filler that comes out of the gun can be dangerous depending on the range, the outlet reported.
