Also from what I have read decent human beings who are actors are very careful when it comes to handling real firearms on set, they aren't just pointing guns at people for no reason and pulling the trigger. I've even read stories where if the shot calls for the actor to point the gun at the camera and pull the trigger that they won't have someone behind the camera for the shot just in case.

But Alec Killer can just ignore all safety standards and point a gun at someone and pull the trigger and pin the entire blame on some idiot who just grabbed a gun and gave it to him.

If people working on movie sets are smart from this day forward they won't hand an actor a gun ever again because apparently that person is going to jail while the actual killer walks away without even having to appear in court.
Prosecutors woke up and realized they couldn't establish negligence or failure to exercise due care when the set hired a train expert and had documented safety protocols in place.
