Original Note:
The fatal "Rust" shooting was in October 2021. The "firearm enhancement" charge in New Mexico law did not take effect in the state until May 2022. Prosecuting Alec Baldwin under that specific law would violate Article I, Section 10 of the United States Constitution. https://www.msn.com/en-us/movies/news/rust-prosecutors-drop-five-year-gun-enhancement-against-alec-baldwin/ar-AA17ISEL
