How does a person so incredibly inexperienced get hired? On top of being inexperienced, she shows zero common sense when it comes to guns.

It's true. It is pretty unbelievable. I'm not an armourer, far from it. I've hunted so I've shot guns. I 100% believe I would have been a better armourer than this person despite absolutely zero experience. Their propsmaster also had zero experience handling guns (thats why you hire an armourer), but was loading weapons. If I was on this set in ANY position and knew that to be the case I would be raising serious concerns with production, and if nothing was done I would be OUT OF THERE. It's her responsibility to say no to the opportunity of working on this movie.
It's still the producer's responsibility to hire competent people, and if they prove to be incompetent, to replace them. That goes for any position. For someone in charge of weapons firing projectiles? Christ. I would be afraid to be just on the set in general.
I think both Gutierrez and Baldwin (along with any other decision-making producers) should go to jail. Thats the only way producers will stop doing these things.
