Could be mistaken, but I think people were going after Baldwin for this because he was a producer? As in, he funded and hired the armourer so ultimately it was his fault.
No, they're blaming him for physically pointing the gun.
He didn't just point the gun. He had his finger on the trigger, and actually pulled it. Ask any responsible gun owner and you'll get an earful about it.
Even if the armourer was found to be responsible, that does not absolve Baldwin's grossly negligent behaviour.
Actually, he didn't pull the trigger. It was a revolver and he fired it by pulling the hammer back.
