State Sen. Dave Cortese (D-San Jose), chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, has announced he’ll push legislation to ban not only live ammunition but workable guns from film sets in California.
“Those working behind the scenes to entertain and bring joy to millions all over the world shouldn’t go to a set worrying if they will return home safely to their family,” he said in a statement. “Our entertainment industry must do a better job of ensuring safe working conditions for crews.”When paparazzi tracked down Baldwin days after the Oct. 21 tragedy, he described it as a “one-in-a-trillion episode.”Cortese disputes Baldwin’s characterization.
A longtime film crew member, who didn’t want to be identified criticizing her industry, told me there’s no reason these days to even have blank ammo in moviemaking. The sound and visual blasts can be dubbed in by technology. The lawmaker doesn’t want to add his bans on workable guns and live ammo to the penal code. He’d like them to be enforced by the state labor commissioner under the occupational safety and health act.
