When the official twitter account of Heckler and Koch is reposting Gun Jesus art by a completely random person, I think the nickname has stuck.
Alec Baldwin Involved in Fatal Shooting On Set of Rust

They're not related. I assumed they were until someone said this to me:
"The hilarious thing about it is that this is the guy that was Animal Mother in Full Metal Jacket and Jayne in Firefly/Serenity. He's no relation to Alec and makes that abundantly clear. See Adam loves him some guns."

Alec Baldwin's brothers are (in approximate order of fame) William, Stephen, and Daniel.
Adam Baldwin is unrelated. And also a bit of a tool.
“I’m shocked and saddened by her death,” assistant director David Halls said. “It’s my hope that this tragedy prompts the industry to reevaluate its values and practices to ensure no one is harmed through the creative process again.”
What an asshole. No responsibility. It's the industry's fault, not his. Why did he even open his mouth?

He's not entirely wrong either though.
When there's an institutional way of doing things, people tend to just do it. It's what people learn to do when they're starting, it's what they think is expected of them. Especially where people are busy and resources limited, they take off-the-peg processes rather than reflect on other ways. In many cases the means for doing it differently may not readily available (products, experienced staff, etc.) because doing it differently is so rare.
Here's the thing. From everything that has come out so far, it sounds like there was so much negligence on-site that it's ridiculous. You have an armorer who is very green at the least, without a more experienced advisor, so she was basically just winging it. You have multiple people handling a gun without checking to make sure the gun is actually safe. You have live rounds making it into a gun that shouldn't have live rounds at all...
This wasn't a case of "the industry". It was a series of fuck-ups, and from the sound of it, cutting corners to a lethal level.
