This has been the sentiment from many within the gun community.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emily Miller, author of the book, &#8220;Emily Gets Her Gun: But Obama Wants to Take Yours,&#8221; was quick to put the blame squarely on the shoulders of Alec Baldwin.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>News Editor Jack Posobiec had this to say about what he&#8217;s hearing from gun owners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Every gun owner I know is saying Alec Baldwin is responsible bc you are responsible for every firearm that is in your hand<br \/><br \/>2A supporters have respect for firearms and with that comes responsibility<\/p>\u2014 Jack Posobiec \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@JackPosobiec) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JackPosobiec\/status\/1451706709492260866?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"filmmakers-call-to-ban-guns-on-set-switch-to-airsoft\" title=\"Filmmakers Call to Ban Guns On Set, Switch to Airsoft\u00a0\">October 23, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n<p>While the conversation is bound to continue as more news unfolds, there are certain inconvenient truths for Baldwin specifically, as he has been one to profit off of glamorizing violence in films while, at the same time, demonizing law-abiding gun owners and organizations that teach gun safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Baldwin was part of an Everytown for Gun Safety stunt in 2018 called, &#8220;NoRA&#8221; or &#8220;No Rifle Association.&#8221;  In a letter addressed to the National Rifle Association, Baldwin along with several other Hollywood elites <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/woke-hollywood-push-gun-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"filmmakers-call-to-ban-guns-on-set-switch-to-airsoft\" title=\"Filmmakers Call to Ban Guns On Set, Switch to Airsoft\u00a0\">threatened<\/a> the livelihood of the organization.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYour time signing checks in our blood is up,\u201d they wrote. \u201cWe'[r]e a diverse, non-partisan coalition of activists, artists, celebrities, writers, gun violence survivors, and policy experts. We\u2019re going to shine a bright light on what you and your organization do to America\u2026We\u2019re coming for your money. We\u2019re coming for your puppets. And we\u2019re going to win.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It goes without saying but Baldwin should be the last person joining a crusade to eradicate what is arguably the largest gun safety organization in the world.  Recent events should remind everyone that we need more people that know how to safely and responsibly use firearms, not fewer.  And that is, in part, the mission of the NRA and its five million members.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One other bit of tragic irony is this tweet posted by Baldwin in 2017.  Many on social media are now throwing this back in Baldwin&#8217;s face: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I wonder how it must feel to wrongfully kill someone&#8230;<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/WE6QsAAXGI\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"filmmakers-call-to-ban-guns-on-set-switch-to-airsoft\" title=\"Filmmakers Call to Ban Guns On Set, Switch to Airsoft\u00a0\">https:\/\/t.co\/WE6QsAAXGI<\/a><\/p>\u2014 AlecBaldwin (@AlecBaldwln____) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlecBaldwln____\/status\/911425278123048960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"filmmakers-call-to-ban-guns-on-set-switch-to-airsoft\" title=\"Filmmakers Call to Ban Guns On Set, Switch to Airsoft\u00a0\">September 23, 2017<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While we wait for the dust to settle, social media is abuzz with reactions. \u00a0 In fact, in Hollywood, several filmmakers have said it\u2019s time to abandon firearms with blanks altogether.   \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":153217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[25,240,1],"tags":[132,469,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-153214","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-current-events","8":"category-this-week","9":"category-uncategorized","10":"tag-buzz","11":"tag-gun-control","12":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Filmmakers Call to Ban Guns On Set, Switch to Airsoft\u00a0<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"In fact, in Hollywood, several filmmakers have said it\u2019s time to abandon firearms with blanks altogether and use airsoft.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/filmmakers-call-to-ban-guns-on-set-switch-to-airsoft\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Filmmakers Call to Ban Guns On Set, Switch to Airsoft\u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"While we wait for the dust to settle, social media is abuzz with reactions. \u00a0 In fact, in Hollywood, several filmmakers have said it\u2019s time to abandon firearms with blanks altogether.  \u00a0\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/filmmakers-call-to-ban-guns-on-set-switch-to-airsoft\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-10-23T20:36:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-07T20:46:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/ColdGun.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"696\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
