To be fair, there have been revolvers with safeties...they're just obsolete and obscure, such as the Reichsrevolver or the Webley-Fosbury automatic revolver:

The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56 buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices. The
government has decided it no longer needs these buildings, most of which are located on prime land in towns and cities
across the country. The sale of these properties will fetch about $19 billion.
A regular real estate commission will be paid to the company that was given the exclusive listing for handling the sales.
That company is CRI and it belongs to a man named Richard Blum. Richard Blum is the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein and is shown with her in the picture above. (Most voters and many of the government people who approved the deal have not made the connection between the two because they have different last names).
Senator Feinstein and her husband stand to make a fortune (EST at between $950 million and $1.1 billion!!) from these transactions. His company is the sole real estate on the sale. CRI will be making a minimum of 3% and as much as 6% commission on each and every sale. All of the properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were purchased with U.S. taxpayers dollars.
Worse yet,most of the net proceeds of the sales will go back to the U.S.P.S, an organization that is so poorly managed that they have lost $117 billion dollars in the past 10 years!
No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over the conflict of interest and on the possibility of corruption on the sale of billions of dollars worth of public assets. How does a U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with organizing and lobbying such a sweet deal? Has our government become so elitist that they have no fear of oversight? And it’s no mere coincidence that these two public service crooks have different last names; a feeble attempt at avoiding transparency in these type of transactions.
Fox News contacted Senator Feinstein’s office and a spokesperson told them that the Senator “is not involved in her husband’s business dealings and she had nothing to do with his firm being awarded the contract.”
“Feinstein just shut up.
Go away.”
Hopefully, since she’s 80 years old, she will. Permanently!
This old ho needs to retire. Maybe go home to spend more time with her money.
That is the most interesting thing I've ever heard her say. That's the closest she's ever come to admitting that gun laws don't work; that they don't keep guns away from "the wrong people".
Thanks for the link. It’s interesting to read the comments of the readers, too.
““Now, it’s going to be interesting to see whether this weapon was outlawed in California and purchased in California,” she said.”
Diane, murder is outlawed in California, and when it is committed with knives congress doesn’t start outlawing kitchen utensils.
Murder has existed as long as mankind, and will as long as mankind exists. We deny spiritual development in our children when and where they are most impressionable, in the schools, then are shocked when schools become the targets of madmen.
We need to look more closely at our servants, who see themselves as our rulers, if we are to return to a more civil society.
Somebody needs to muzzle Fartstain.
Firstly, the U.S. government used nuclear weapons against targets in Japan in order to end World War II. I have no doubt whatever that our government would justify use of nuclear arms against its own people if the need ever arose.
Secondly, the criteria you are using is flawed. Honest law-abiding citizens of the USA have the RIGHT to whatever weapons the citizens are willing to use against the government.
If the Obama administration, in the guise of enforcing a treaty, permitted one hundred thousand blue-helmeted mercenaries to land on our shores, would you hesitate for a second to push the button which would destroy them with a nuclear weapon?
Just what do you think is so special about nuclear weapons? As I recall, the bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were estimated to be equivalent to about 100 thousands tons of TNT each. Would you hesitate to detonate one hundred thousand tons of TNT to stop the blue-helmeted invaders I described above? I wouldn't.
Feinstein: ‘Gun owners and gun people’ have a ‘hammerlock’ on Congress
Yes indeed. We AMERICANS (gun owners) will protect our Constitutional Right!
No you stupid bitch, the Constitution has a hammer-lock on Congress.
“Gun people?” I can just see a South Park parody coming up.
Fineswine you POS!
Exactly. 5.56 mm NATO, that would be military. The left’s ignorance in an area they wish to control is always good for a laugh.
Novelist Stephen King has mentioned both revolvers and Glocks during his slumming trips into Gunworld. (Respectively, “Salem’s Lot” and his most recent, “Dr. Sleep”)
With both firearms, he assures his “gentle Readers” that the “safety is on.”
Heh.
(Thought for sure that line would have been used already)
And that would be a hammerlock the communists in congress whine about and want to break, eh, DiFido?
That’s correct.
To be fair, there have been revolvers with safeties...they're just obsolete and obscure, such as the Reichsrevolver or the Webley-Fosbury automatic revolver:
Point of fact: the A-bombs used against Japan weren’t accurately “sized” since the criteria for determining blast equivalencies hadn’t been agreed upon yet. The best estimates I’ve seen put them around 12 KT, about equal to 12,000 tons of TNT, not 100,000 tons.
Wikipedia says Fat Man had a yield of 21 KT, and Little boy 16 KT.
