Quote:
The Glock system of having a safety on the trigger is to help prevent negligent discharges due to something snagging the trigger. The Glock design removes almost all chances of the gun firing accidentally; a Glock fires only if the trigger is pulled. If you follow basic safety rules and keep your finger off the trigger you'll be fine.
On the other hand, a gun with a manual safety can cause people to be LESS safe; they rely on the manual safety and don't practice basic safety techniques like keeping their finger off the trigger.

In other words: A glock is safe unless you don't follow basic safety rules, and a gun with a manual safety is also safe unless you don't follow basic safety rules.
Guns don't cause people to ignore basic safety rules any more than they cause people to kill people.
