I'd be very surprised if his first phone call wasn't to his lawyer and he was following instructions from there.

Let’s be real, his assistant made the call
one of the first calls went to a fixer type of person
pretty much this...

I bet he was on the phone calling his daughter a rude, little pig.
he was probably playing Words With Friends.
So by that logic every actor that ever played a rape scene.. isn't really against rape?
I'm gonna have to disagree.
It sure is an extreme analogy, but it is meant as a reminder that actors are doing a job and are playing roles that are not them.
Also, im not sure on this, but you might be one of the first people to complain about Hollywood wokeness if that actually were how actors operated.
I'm always qute tho.
Stop being dumb, spell it right
Movies like Westerns do a thing that anti-gun advocates refer to as "glorifying gun violence". I can't think of any instance of "glorifying rape" being an issue. Ie, There are countless movies where the hero goes on a mass shooting spree and the audience loves them for it. On the other hand, I can't think of any movie in which the audience celebrates a rape.
James bond says hello
I don't remember Daniel Craig sexing up any ladies against their will.
good on you for checking
you literally have to break all 4 rules to have an accidental discharge
if I was in charge of gun sale, I'd make it so that no one can buy a gun unless you can recite the safety rules verbatim
I'm sure it was a total accident and the families and Alec are crushed but it kind of points out the hypocrisy of stars making millions glorify guns and violence while speaking out against it from the other side of their mouths.
I feel bad for the lady that died.

IMO, it doesn't really matter. Basic firearm safety means he should've checked. The assistant director that gave it to him should have checked also. Even if the AD checked it standing directly in front of Baldwin right before he handed it to him, Baldwin still should've checked so he could see for himself. That is a basic rule of firearm safety.
The armorer shares some of the blame as well. She should have taken the time to go over some basics with the cast and crew. She also should have kept any guns that are capable of firing a real round locked up with a select few educated people having access.

Yeah, and that guy apologized to him. "Sorry I put my face in the way of your shot Mr. VP."
