  1. A movie set would be the exception. The video makes it clear that the normal procedures were not followed. The actors and set crew are reliant on the armourer and AD getting it right. This didn't happen here.
  2. Real weapons, guitars can be used as PROPS in a scene. (I mention guitar for what happened in "The Hateful 8") The issue is how real ammunition made its way on set in the revolver as this movie was a Western. Dummy rounds would commonly be used in loading scenes and in scenes to give the revolver the appearance that it was loaded. Having issues with the crew/production could easily see enough confusion between dummy rounds and the live round for this to occur.
  3. And considering that the Charter opens with this: 1. Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. A global pandemic is a reasonable justification for limitations. In the anti-vaxx world, nope.
  4. How does closing our eyes and hoping this goes away make sense? Vintage has been regularly posting the BC Covid updates here. From them: The majority of cases are unvaccinated. The majority of hospitalizations are unvaccinated. All indications are that the overwhelming majority of ICU cases are unvaccinated. From the data it is a clear conclusion that the majority (not all) of these are preventable. The more people who get vaccinated, the fewer hospital beds that are filled with Covid patients. The quicker we get people vaccinated, the sooner those beds open up. Tax dollars that goes to treating these anti-vaxxers can go to helping people with medical issues that is not Covid related. That is where we want to go. We only get there when the anti-vaxxers get their jabs. I'm almost at the point where they should be jabbed with force. I have lost all patience with the anti-vaxx lot. It is obvious that there are far too many unvaccinated people who won't get vaccinated without consequences. If they still choose to go unvaccinated, then there should be no sympathy if they lose everything. They had their chance.
  5. Maybe lockdown for them. Only be able to leave the home for specific reasons. Naw, that's too far. Let's just close our eyes and hope it goes away. https://apnews.com/article/coronavirus-pandemic-europe-health-austria-5bd2969df1d3f5e07f766ba8227a43c6 Austrian chancellor threatens lockdown for unvaccinated
  6. There are very few who cannot get the vaccines due to documented legit reasons that existed prior to the pandemic. The overwhelming majority of adults who haven't been vaccinated yet, are unvaccinated due to BS anti-vaxx reasoning.
  7. Tell me that you know nothing about acting scenes in movie and TV productions that involve firearms without actually saying you know nothing.
  8. Such an tragedy. In the setting of a TV show or movie, the people working on set and the actors are reliant on people like this AD to ensure things go off safely. When they don't do their jobs to a T, you get tragedies like this and like with the late Brandon Lee. https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-arts-and-entertainment-movies-santa-fe-alec-baldwin-25d83890a289bb9ae358f406cd3cbee9?utm_medium=AP&utm_source=Twitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow
  9. 100% guaranteed, once the authorities are finished with their investigation
  10. It's obvious that the safeguards that were put in place after the Brandon Lee incident were not followed to the letter. And blanks can kill. Doesn't necessarily require live rounds.
  11. It has to do with the "bullets" they use. Depending on the shot, there are different rounds. Some are dummies that are used for show (scenes where the actor is loading the gun etc.) and do noting while "Blanks" do something and are still dangerous.
  12. Once approved, it won't be simply drawing a smaller dose from the vials that adults use. The reduced dosage also involved a change in the components. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/pfizer-doses-children-5-11-approval-arrival-1.6219252 Canada to receive 2.9M Pfizer doses to begin vaccinating 5 to 11 year-olds once approved, Trudeau says Pfizer has formally asked Health Canada for approval of their COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11
  13. 4%. That's how many. And that number will fall by the deadline. The few who don't, no sympathy. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/more-than-5-500-unvaccinated-b-c-health-care-workers-could-soon-be-out-of-work-as-deadline-nears-1.5630155 More than 5,500 unvaccinated B.C. health-care workers could soon be out of work as deadline nears
  14. Kinda like how we should have some ability to produce our own vaccines.
  15. Yes. Capitalism exists, so costs and profits are part of it. Torts was trying to make the point that we vaccine defenders were pro-Pharma all the way. That this kind of discussion could easily derail things.
