If you insert my bracketed italic clarification above, it might be clearer to you. You are trying to characterize my comments as gun control and government mandated training, which usually involves licensing (A license being evidence of having successfully passed the training) and laws regulating or prohibiting such. Whether laws exist on training or not in New Mexico, the production company still needs to operate without a reckless lack of care. They need their own procedures, policies and training. With a lack of care, they can be found to be negligent.Coydog wrote: ↑Oct 29th, '21, 07:02 I see, so in MooseSpeak, when you openly question the firearm training of actors with:

My bad.
Your above quote of mine refers to an example of the ordinary care needed to be exercised by the movie production company when asking inexperienced actors to handle live firearms. Live meaning a real gun. The actor as a responsible adult, also bears responsibility when holding a live firearm. Neither of these standards of ordinary care necessarily enter into the province of gun control legislation. In your latest attempt you are trying to conflate training, briefing, and inspecting by a private company or individual with something that is government mandated. You can twist this further Coydog style, and say that case law on criminal negligence effectively is a mandate, but it is not firearm specific, and it is not situational specific. You must prove negligence, which would involve all of the circumstances of the accident, and those circumstances vary with every accident.
Training is part of ordinary care. Procedures are part of ordinary care. Chain of custody is part of ordinary care. Each company's method of care may vary.
If your point is "Can I find any parsable language in any of Mr Moose's posts?" then let's cut to the chase and agree that yes, you will always be able to do that.
