That this story is at a communist website makes it that much more ridiculous. That said, it does sound like a serious situation. In the wake of Alec Baldwin and Rust gun safety has become a big issue on sets. The guy they hired for that stuff appears to be a total wacko.

"I asked Ari, 'Can I see that?'" recounts James. Taub agreed and handed the gun to James while "very loudly" reassuring everyone in the room that the weapon was fake. But James says that while handing it over, Taub whispered a warning into his ear: "Just make sure you don't pull the trigger." Taub denies he said this."
