      Indeed. Especially since most firearms are, and have been, drop safe for decades. The exceptions to that are notable enough that they’ve usually resulted in lawsuits against the companies for unsafe firearms. Sig Sauer recently lost such a case over their P320 line of handguns (said guns, often used by police departments, have gone off with no user input or without being dropped), and Remington lost a large case over their 700-series rifles (again, some of them went off without being touched), and ended up going bankrupt as a result.
