In a major change to the way Hollywood movies and TV series are made, live ammunition will be banned from production sets under a new agreement reached by the Directors Guild of America and studios.
The new tentative contract, which was announced over the weekend, includes provisions for increased compensation for directors as well as a promise that studios wonβt use artificial intelligence technology to replace directors. Juneteenth will also become a paid holiday for guild members.
Among the new safety measures is βthe ban of live ammunition on set.β The guild didnβt elaborate on a timeline or provide further details. But it appears that real fire arms will continue to be allowed. More
Effectively another gun-free zone.
Yeah, we need more of those.
The Baldwin Rule.
So does that include security? I’m assuming yes.
why would they ever need live ammo anyway?
Wut? That wasn’t a rule already???
^^^^^ LOL. I’m pretty damn sure it was. I’m an old Western Freak. Probably cause there ain’t jack shit on the tube these days. The muzzle discipline in these old movies is awesome really. And common sense back then. Today, not so much and as it turns out, it’s the damn gun fault.
News flash:
Live ammunition has been banned from production sets for decades, unless you’re a second unit (not the main production set) shooting on an actual firing range, or a naval ship at sea in international waters.
“Blanks and dummies only” has been the iron-clad rule going back half a century.

And those rules don’t work in the first place if you hire inexperienced and maliciously incompetent Prop Tarts who neither read nor follow them; that’s how you get people killed.
This rule didn’t and never will save people like Halyna Hutchins, if the prop master, weapons handler(s), and their assistants, are all incompetent effing morons who couldn’t hold down a job as a barrista at Starbuck’s.
Good Luck Filming in Chicago.
^^^^ Or Hollywood. LOL
Hmm, another thought, are we being played? Don’t confiscate the gun, confiscate the ammo? I mean that’s weak shit, but could it be?
Say, doesn’t that mean more ammo for us??????
Aww shoot!

Traded nothing for a Juneteenth paid holiday, what a deal
Turns out Juneteenth is my birfday. Who do I need to kill to get that changed? I’m DOWN.
I am very enjoyed this blog. It’s an informative topic. It helps me very much to solve some problems.
Choke on a bag of dicks, mario.
Alec Baldwin will come out of this as a hero, for showing the world the dangers of guns. Ugh.
They must fear Baldwin murdering another colleague that he gets miffed at.
New Headline:
Hollywood to ban Incompetent Actors from Movie sets.
That’ll make movie sets a lot more dangerous. They’ll become just like the entire city of Chicago. Only bad actors will have live ammunition. The few good actors around will have only blanks. Can’t fight back with blanks. They should have live ammo too.
As John Lott correctly stated: More Live Ammo, Less Movie Set Crime.
(This is parody – John Lott is right)
