‘I would never point a gun at anybody and pull the trigger at them. Never.’Is Baldwin lying, or is this merely a crafty legal defense?

Actor Alec Baldwin claims he didn’t pull the trigger of the prop gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of “Rust” last month.
In a preview released for an upcoming sit-down interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, Baldwin bizarrely denied claims that he pulled the trigger, despite media reports last month that he fired the gun.
Here’s a transcript of the pertinent part of the interview:
STEPHANOPOULOS: You’ve described it as a one in a trillion shot and the gun was in your hand. How do you come to terms with that? It wasn’t in the script for the trigger to be pulled.
BALDWIN: Well the trigger wasn’t pulled. I didn’t pull the trigger.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you never pulled the trigger?
BALDWIN: No no no no. I would never point a gun at anybody and pull the trigger at them. Never.
STEPHANOPOULOS: What did you think happened?
Is the statement merely the result of a disingenuous edit? Is Baldwin lying? Or is he simply using semantics to avoid a possible legal penalty?
The Right Scoop questioned if Baldwin was using a “magic gun” that goes off without requiring the trigger be pulled, saying, “A gun doesn’t magically fire a live bullet without pulling the trigger. It just doesn’t happen.”
The interview will air on ABC at 8 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the investigation into the shooting and how the live round got on set is still ongoing.
So, the claim is:
“People don’t kill people, guns kill people. And now, a gun is trying to frame Alec Baldwin for murder.”
Do I have that right?
Alec realizes who he’s talking to: “gullible Stephanopoulos” who used to work for the Clintons. He’s playing the Clinton card. Deny deny deny. It was an unmanned gun like the unmanned car in Waukesha. It’s the left’s playbook.
