...Unfortunately, the NRA has been working for years to make sure lunatics and felons can obtain guns as easily as possible... Then the NRA worked to weaken old rules barring the mentally ill from owning guns. In the past, because of concerns that an unbalanced person could relapse after treatment, the rules provided that anyone prohibited from having a gun for psychological reasons was banned forever. No more: Now a person committed to a mental hospital can, after getting out, petition a court for his guns. And by lobbying state legislatures, the NRA made sure psychiatric experts play a puny role in determining if a former mental patient should have a gun. Instead, in places like Idaho, state judges who are ill-equipped to make such a determination do it with no input from experts...
According to the NRA, every armed madman or criminal is a responsible, law-abiding good guy with a gun until the moment his first bullet splatters the walls with the brains and blood of innocent people.

Yes. The NRA wants all crazy people to have guns. It’s in the bylaws.
But Obama thinks felons should be allowed to vote. Otay.
Typical calm, well-reasoned article from a once-respectable news magazine
/s
So the clear second amendment means nothing, yet they find a non-existent right to abortion, and a right for government to demand you buy a private product or face jail and fines.
I didn’t know that “Newsweek” could declare the bill of rights as null and void. They should know that “freedom of the press” does not give them the righ to lie, or, act as a mini-me SCOTUS.
I thought Newsweek went out of business.
Oh yeah. I remember them lobbying for the “Arming felons and nut jobs act of 2012”. Guess it failed in the house and senate. :>}
Eichenwach has no right to speak on the subject
He should be jailed for subversion, then the scaffold
Its just agitprop. As they are socialists we should honestly expect nothing less, and expect it to get far worse.
I don't think they would dare to charge more than a nickel for the newsstand price.
I think most of their copies sold are in Korean and distributed for free in North Korea...
Tripe from an impotent baldheaded so-called intellectual who writes for Vanity (very appropriate) Fair and NYT.
Newsweek? is that a real magazine or something?
Honestly, I really don’t see how these paragons of inanity make a real living. I really don’t.
For decades, the left and the Democratic Party have been trying to disarm the American People, so that they can forcibly oppress its people into work camps and gulags.
The Leftist elites, government bureaucrats, journalists, rich Hollywood celebrities, have had the desire to cull the population to keep natural resources for themselves, and the second amendment has thwarted their attempts to do that.
Many useful idiots, such as Newsweek, should be stopped from being allowed to print such tripe. oh wait, only the rights they deem acceptable are such.
They exist still I guess. Like pornography still tends to propagate throughout the seedier side of society. Some tend to dally with topics more akin to child pornography for the very discriminating liberals - mental ideological masturbation and peer encouraged reinforcement, if you will.
In the end, they don’t really mean anything.
It’s not enough for them to slant the news. Now they just make sh*t up as well.
Newsweak is the same POS rag that titled “We’re all Socialists Now” on its front cover in 2009, and trumpeted Obama as “God of All Things” in 2012.
Newsweak at one time was a respectable news organ, but it’s long since joined the ranks of “Mother Jones,” “New Republic” and other leftist propaganda trash. It’s not to be taken seriously.
Is it Newsweek or Orwell’s New-speak?
Not to mention you have to bake the cake.
