I think more people would choose otherwise if they studied the mechanics of their weapons and knew what their safeties did - or didn't do. Simply blocking the trigger - as many "safeties" do- is often relatively meaningless.
Let me get this correct. Are you saying the safeties on firearms don't make them safe? There is legal implications and liabilities going with the safeties that are installed on modern firearms. If your stating that there not up to task, this needs to be brought up and the aspects of it with viewable to the public documentation. I worked for a Master Gunsmith who was the owner of Front range Gunsmithing from 76'-89'. I know what the safeties are about and there workings. That is why I say what I said about having them in the field (they have no business there if it's compromised). Just want to clear this up.
Some go through life wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem. Ronald Regan
