The suggestion that the assault laws run afoul with gun safety standards
We haven't established that Wisconsin law is as you describe. That being said, a law that says it's not a crime to point a firearm at somebody unless the victim has reason to believe it's loaded DOES run afoul of just about every principle of gun safety.
or that the DA broke the law by pointing that rifle at the jury is stupid.
I agree that we was not in violation of any Wisconsin statutes that I'm aware of, but that doesn't mean it wasn't reckless.
See? You're fucking retarded.
All states assault laws are based on a simple premise. You have to cause a harm or put someone in fear of being harmed.
Not that fucking complicated.
And it obviously isn't reckless. Pull the mag, cycle the chamber, look into the chamber, verify empty. Gun is safe. Simple fucking concept.

You're telling me that if that guy lifted that rifle and pointed it straight at you that you wouldn't have any fear of being harmed? I would and I own four of the fucking things.

You, here, trying to make the case that pointing firearms at people isn't reckless because you checked it first is an argument in favor of the idea that all people shouldn't be allowed to own firearms. Off topic, but did they pay you for your work on the movie Rust up until that day, or is the pay off the table now?
If I personally watched the court bailiff clear and check that rifle and immediately hand the DA that rifle, I wouldn't give 1 fuck if that DA pointed that rifle at me and pulled the trigger. That rifle, in a courtroom, had been checked a half a dozen times just to bring it there to the courtroom. Not to mention the clearing at the crime scene, the clearing after the ballistics test, in a controlled environment, where all rounds are accounted for.
The movie Rust had zero people even look at that pistol prior to handing it to Baldwin. Baldwin didn't check it, neuter did the bitch who got shot check it. And that was on a movie set.
I get that you should treat all guns as if they are loaded when out and about, but ffs, how do you even clean your weapon if you believe bullets can magically appear?
You people are pansy assed retards looking for a reason to huff and puff about the other side.
