maybe they should control the border better rather than suing the maker for legally selling guns to Americans

/u/thinkB4wespeeak is right, the US should harden the border, increase inspections, and build a wall to intervene in illegal arma shipments across the border. Or is they suggesting a full blown military intervention/incursion into mexico so that the US can stop the cartels from illegally shipping firearms across the border? Either way, im glad a sensible comment like that is so heavily upmarseyd

This is an actual issue in Canada and IMO the only reason Trudeau didn't use it as leverage is the path by which guns cross the border.

/u/connor_wa15h yeah except this is like making the auto manufacturing companies liable if somebody does a drive-by shooting with their car.
The equivalent you're looking for would be a law that requires, for example, all newly-manufactured guns to have a safety. (pretty sure they already do ofc)

It's worse actually, it's like saying there should be a law holding auto manufacturers responsible for committing truck-of-peace ramming attacks on civilians. Like what kind of standards would make automobiles less deadly in the hands of someone who actively wants to use them to hurt people?

You can buy guns with no safety at all? I kinda figured they were standard issue tbh, every gun I've ever fired has had one.

a lot of bolt actions dont have safeties. Also some pistols will come with a compound trigger instead of a safety

It's a good thing safety's are a thing because if they were, it would be really hard for me to accidentally kill myself.

This thing on the trigger is the only "safety" the vast majority of modern handguns have:
And a lot of them don't even have that since it doesn't really serve any useful purpose (anything that depresses the trigger will almost certainly depress the safety too). That's why "Glock leg" is a thing.

The only handguns I've ever fired had them, not on the trigger, but above the trigger. I'm not sure what the purpose of having a safety on the trigger even is.
I also didn't realize there was so much opposition to them. They don't seem to really make the gun any less useful or anything, or even less convenient to use. Seems similar to people arguing that seatbelts shouldn't be required or something. Maybe I've missed something though, I don't go shooting very often.

The dual trigger thing was introduced by Glock so they could say the gun technically has some sort of safety.
The theory is that handguns don't need manual safeties because modern holsters are already designed to add the necessary level of safety by covering the trigger when the gun isn't in use. Unlike long guns which need safeties because they're carried with the trigger exposed.
As for me, my guns have safeties.

Half of the modern firearms I own have no "safety" in the sense of having a safety switch (which is what I assume you're referring to). But like
@butthole said they have some other component like a double-action trigger, decocker, or are a single-action revolver with a shielded firing pin.
