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