I agree with everything this article says. If Mr. Baldwin spent less time ridiculing and attacking firearms and more time learning about them, this whole accident could have been avoided.
From the article:
"Baldwin has for years been a staunch advocate for gun control. Some Twitter users argued that if he had taken some time to learn more about guns before handling one, he might have known what to avoid."
"BOO!"
A guide, on finding a man who has lost his way, brings him back to the right path—he does not mock and jeer at him and then take himself off. You also must show the unlearned man the truth, and you will see that he will follow. But so long as you do not show it to him, you should not mock, but rather feel your own incapacity.

Do not rely on following the degree of understanding that you have discovered, but simply think, “This is not enough”.
