Explanation:

1. A safety blocks the firearm's action to stop accidental firing (other options are incorrect: it doesn’t guarantee "never" accidental fire, isn’t always on/inside trigger guard, and shouldn’t be solely relied on).
2. Knowing a firearm’s range helps identify safe distances by determining where it can cause harm (other options are irrelevant or incorrect: range doesn’t dictate ammo choice directly, telescopic sight use depends on target, and accuracy requires practice).
3. U.S. federal law mandates non-toxic shot for hunting migratory waterfowl to protect wildlife from lead poisoning.

Answer:

1. is a device that blocks the action to prevent the firearm from shooting
