'I would never point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger': Alec Baldwin weeps as he denies firing gun loaded with 'a bullet that wasn't even supposed to be on the property', during George Stephanopoulos interview [More]
It sounds like he's going for an insanity defense.

That's what they said about Kyle Rittenhouse, at any rate. And he wasn't even a professional actor.
Has anybody asked themwhat they think about Alec Baldwin?
From the article link: Weapons expert Steve Wolf told TMZ that the type of gun Baldwin was holding had a sensitive trigger that could be activated at slight pressure.
'Even tensing your hand on one of these single-action guns is enough to discharge it,' he told the outlet. 'What he's saying is he's not intentionally deciding to shoot the gun, and this does happen.
'These guns can be fired very, very, easily and they are sometimes fired inadvertently, but they don't discharge on their own.'
ALSO NOTE: Baldwin could have pulled the hammer back part way, not engaging anything, and if he did that and released the hammer, if a bullet was in the chamber it could fire the bullet. That would comport with Baldwin's statement that he didn't pull the trigger. He didn't say if he pulled back the hammmer!
