By Nardine SaadLos Angeles TimesAlec Baldwin is calling for a shift in responsibility on film sets by declaring that law enforcement should be present to monitor weapons safety. Mark Sagliocco/Getty Images for National Geographic/TNS"Every film/TV set that uses guns, fake or otherwise, should have a police officer on set, hired by the production, to specifically monitor weapons safety," the actor tweeted from his now-private Twitter account. Prop masters and armorers are usually the parties responsible for weapons safety. This came just days after Baldwin re-upped a crew member's missive rejecting the narrative that they were "overworked and surrounded by unsafe, chaotic conditions." According to The Times' timeline of events, Gutierrez Reed entered the church set where they were rehearsing a shootout scene with firearms.
