It literally makes no sense for this yo be a hit
As someone who is regularly called a conspiracy theorist, even I have to say thinking this was a hit carried out by Baldwin is fucking retarded.
Dude, come off it; this was an accident that happened because of multiple layers of mistakes and miscommunication.

Trying to tie this to the Clinton's based on some 4chan bullshit is just pissing in the pool.
Look, I get that it's extremely unlikely. But considering the sheer clown world our societies have become nowadays, I'm not willing to dismiss the conclusions of 4chan out of hand as "mad ramblings".

You have any evidence besides them?

Because the other theories being floated for what happened do have evidence to back it up.

Yours only has 4chan ramblings and nothing else.

Do we have definitive proof of what her husband did?
I was mistaken. He didn't work against Clinton, he worked for them. Which likely means this wasn't a hitjob.

I think the one thing that is not being focused on is both victims were shot with a single action Revolver. Meaning for each shot Alec Baldwin had to physically pull the hammer back and make each shot.
We don't know that for sure, do we? It's possible the bullet exited the first person and hit a second.

I thought it was one as well.

Also, I would think they would use double action so they don't have to remind actors to pull the hammer back

I think what happened was the first victim was directly behind the camera when Baldwin pulled the trigger, like with her eye in the eye piece, and the second victim directly behind her.

The round goes through the first victims head, comes out mostly intact, and hits the second victim.

I haven't heard if it hit her in the head or not

Would explain why she died though
I just figure it's likely, if they were trying to rehearse the right timing and movements for the scene, that there would be a person behind the camera looking through the viewfinder to make sure it was all in frame.

Edit: I just realized there's an easy, cheap way to avoid this issue in the future, besides just following the normal filmaking armour's regs.

Any scene done with a gun pointing at the camera should use a 90 degree turn in the viewfinder, so crew are not directly in the line of fire if there is a mishap.

Single action is probably a lot safer when filming a western. Astute members of the audience will also notice that the revolver isn't period appropriate if it's not single action or uses smokeless powder.

From what they were saying is it was him showing her how he was going to do it before they filmed jt

I'm not sure how reliable that claim is, because the lead prop master on "The Old Way" specifically said he was initially skeptical of her inexperience and hired her mostly because no one more qualified was available, but that her work was exceptionally good and that based on his firsthand experience, he would be "very surprised" if she was ultimately found at fault for the Rust incident.
