Yes it's perfectly fine to engage in the discussion as to whether all cinematic gunfights should utilize CGI and eliminate guns from sets. That has absolutely nothing to do with culpability for what already happened, which was what I confined my discussion to in the OP.
Baldwin is responsible for two reasons.
He is the executive producer of the movie and thus responsible for everything that occurs on the set.
He was holding the gun as already discussed.
I am not proposing a simple but ultimately less than satisfactory solution for preventing recurrences. I am correctly assigning blame for what already happened.
So take your heuristics and blow them out your prop gun. 
A tragedy happened, and I have enough faith in the courts (in this domain) to deal with this issue for I trust my peers in this type of thing 
I do not trust Hollywood on many issues, for people get sloppy and unsafe stuff occurs all the time. Hell some people were talking on the World Wide Web , in response to this gun incident that we do not talk enough about other Hollywood accidents. One such thing was the transformer 3 accident where a person got a Traumatic Brain Injury (I am skipping details now for they are gruesome), and how nobody was admitting culpability and all this hundreds of thousands of medical bills, well two years later a lawsuit awarded 18 million to the victim, but that women will have permanent brain damage.
So yeah I guess we are talking past each other Smiley
