    I don’t have a strong opinion as to what types of safeties make sense, but a safety is really intended for preventing accidental discharges, not stopping the thing from being fired by a kid playing with it.

    I think that the answer is “don’t let the kid play with the gun”, rather than “add another safety”.

    Like, it sounds like she got home and just dumped her radio and gun out. The answer to that is to put it away, same as all kinds of poisonous and dangerous other things that you wouldn’t want a 3-year-old playing with.
