Petition Asks For ‘Halyna’s Law,’ Banning Guns From Sets After Alec Baldwin Shooting

A petition to ban real guns from film sets has gained more than 25,000 signatures following last week’s fatal set shooting involving actor Alec Baldwin.

“We need to make sure that this avoidable tragedy never happens again,” the Change.org petition reads.”There is no excuse for something like this to happen in the 21st century. Real guns are no longer needed on film production sets. This isn’t the early 90’s, when Brandon Lee was killed in the same manner. Change needs to happen before additional talented lives are lost.”

“Please sign this petition and demand for Alec Baldwin to use his power and influence in the Hollywood film industry to make a change and ban real guns on film sets,” the petition continued.

The petition comes less than a week after Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer of Rust, was shot and killed when Baldwin fired a gun he had been told was unloaded. Director Joel Souza was also injured in the incident. Souza has since been released from the hospital.

Signees are calling for the creation of Halyna’s Law to “ban the use of real firearms on film production sets and create a safe working environment for everyone involved.” – Source
