The U.S. Department of Defense, led by Secretary Pete Hegseth, has announced a significant policy reversal, allowing the use of antipersonnel land mines beyond the Korean Peninsula. The memo outlines plans to remove geographic restrictions and grants combat commanders authority to deploy these weapons, presenting them as a “force multiplier” amid escalating global security challenges. This controversial shift has drawn sharp criticism from human rights advocates who argue that land mines disproportionately harm civilians and can remain deadly long after conflicts end. In 2024 alone, nearly 2,000 individuals fell victim to land mines and unexploded ordnance globally. As the U.S.…

Last week, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife approved a plan to eradicate mule deer on Catalina Island, located about 23 miles off the southern California coast. Behind the plan is a nonprofit called the Catalina Island Conservancy, which owns 42,000 acres on Catalina—about 80% of the total island.According to the Conservancy, mule deer are non-native to the island and pose a threat to native plant and wildlife species. The plan outlines a strategy to remove the estimated 800 to 2,000 animals on the island over the next six years, beginning this fall with “professional sharpshooters” killing deer over…

Many Americans live in small communities. It has been that way since the country was born. For generations, small-town folks have lived pleasant, usually quiet lives. For the most part, when excitement comes to such places, the reality is rarely a pleasant one. That was the situation in the border community of Columbus, N.M., in March 1916. New Mexico had only recently become a state on Jan. 6, 1912. The border with Mexico is just 3 miles from Columbus, and the locals were quite familiar with America’s troubled southern neighbor. The Mexican Revolution began in late 1910, and by 1916,…

When Smith & Wesson introduced its Night Guard line-up in 2008, the revolvers in the line had three defining features—a lightweight scandium aluminum alloy frame, a glow-in-the-dark front tritium night sight and a matte black finish that was appropriate for its moniker.

The five-shot .44 Spl. Model 396…

Here’s cal Thirty nine year old firefighter Matthew Glenn Mayer of Claypool was charged last week with illegally taking a white tail deer, but that is the least of his worries.

(Continued from Part 1. This concludes the article.) In Part 1, I presented an overview of the Super Safety and why it was chosen. Now, I will move on to describing some details on installation and function checking. This will cover the modifications to install a Super Safety on only a standard 5.56mm AR-15.
