New Mexican Republican State Senator, Cliff Pirtle, introduced a bill that would require all film and TV production personnel who handle firearms to complete a gun safety course with the New Mexico Game & Fish Department.
Spurred on by the Alec Baldwin shooting that took the life of cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins while filming the movie, 'Rust', it was unclear if the bill will gain support in the Democrat-led legislature and Dem. Governor, Michelle Grisham, had no immediate comment on the proposal.
Senator Pirtle, in a statement, stated, "Unfortunately, to the Hollywood elite, the talk around guns is all too abstract. This is a simple bill to bring some gravity back to the use of firearms on production sets."
CMG agrees with Senator Pirtle and other States should follow. There definitely needs to be a higher sense of awareness regarding firearms on film and TV production sets.
