</div>Two of which aren't safety features, but just part of the mechanism how<br>
a gun can be fired. Because everyone loves car analogies: The safety<br>
mechanism that keeps your car from moving isn't the tank which can be<br>
empty or the ignition which can be switched off, or the accelerator<br>
which you can decide not to push down, but the brakes. Mind that I'm not<br>
arguing against an additional safety if it can be switched off, but I<br>
wouldn't miss it either.<br>
