I don't see how the actor is supposed to be responsible for it when they have an armorer specifically to ensure gun safety, but we'll see where this goes...

IIRC Baldwin was a part owner of the production company, so he was partially responsible for the lax safety standards that caused the death. There were signs before the shooting that the set was dangerous. Employees had previously walked off the job over fears for their own safety. Baldwin could have thrown his weight as an owner at any time before hand to fix the problem.

Why would you expect a gun to be loaded on set?

The armorer was a wreckless gun nut who liked to fire off live rounds at empty bottles on set during her lunch break. She would often have live rounds and blanks sitting on the same table. She was fired from her previous job and quietly blacklisted because of a mix up with live rounds that nearly killed someone.
