They are on every handgun I’ve ever seen. But maybe that’s no considered an external feature, like a trigger lock.

I’m not a gun person but I think I saw a Reddit thread recently that said a lot of handguns don’t have safeties the way you’re thinking about a safety. That is, an additional switch besides the trigger.
Here’s a little info:

I think the Glock was the first semi auto handgun that did away with the additional safety and other manufacturer followed suit.
What could possibly go wrong?

Gun safety mechanisms are not all equivalent. My Glock basically had a sub trigger you had to pull with the trigger so it wasn’t terribly safe.
I imagine safeties are more to stop the gun going off accidentally when dropped or being moved around than to stop someone from actually firing it. How many home defenders were killed because they couldn’t get the safety off in time?

Unfortunately it’s becoming more common to have firearms without traditional safeties. 2 1/2 year olds have plenty of grip strength to fire any gun they get their hands on.

I loved that sketch because republicans are so incapable of having rational views on guns outside of more guns = good, that you can actually get them to agree that arming 5 year olds is a good idea.
Is this the first female school shooter?
There was a trans shooter a couple years back i think. As much as the GOP would have loved to run with that story they know school shootings are a massive losing issue for them.
I find it hard to believe she’s the first only because there’s been so many and there’s only so much male domination one field can handle.
Looks like there are about 4% female shooters over the last 20 years and 4 this year.

Maybe the politics would change if there were more female shooters.
The OG school shooter was female.

Please for the love of god don’t be trans female.
Although I’m guessing she’s already trans in the derposphere.
She’s not, it’s just elon’s disinfo machine at work.
