I suppose we can't be surprised that we have to deal with all this, since they have all been mandated by politicians and lawyers, two groups of people who find it impossible to analyze a problem and craft a simple solution. Any mechanical device is as prone to mishap as the human who designed and built it, and thus the idea that safeties make a firearm safer and the more the merrier is at best an illusion. Safeties can lull one into a false sense of security, or even a lack of respect for the power of the firearm. I haven't changed my opinions of them, which are basically negative.Ī big problem with safeties of any type is relying on them, rather than on skill. Personally, I never grew up with safeties, but I realize that they are here to stay.
