NRA President: Don’t Overreact NRA president David Keene reminisces about the days when kids brought shotguns to school and tells Lloyd Grove that Friday's widely panned press conference 'went pretty well'—and that when it comes to finding solutions to the dizzying problems of mass shootings, the nation shouldn’t ‘overreact.’ Read it at The Daily Beast CONTENTIOUS 2. Brotherhood: 'Yes' to Constitution Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood got the constitution it wanted, so it claims. After two controversial rounds of voting, the brotherhood unofficially declared a win, with 64 percent support, for the Islamic-backed constitution. The country’s election commission—which has reliably tallied accurate results for past elections—will announce the official outcome tomorrow. Opposition groups already dispute the Brotherhood's alleged win, calling for an investigation into claims of voter fraud. While Islamist President Mohamed Morsi and his party pushed the constitution under the guise of bringing unity and stability to Egypt, the legitimacy of the redesigned government framework may be weakened by a low voter turnout of 32 percent and claims of voting violations.

North Korea Expands Missile Range We usually expect North Korea to be all talk when it comes to weapons technology, but South Korea warns that its reclusive neighbor’s latest rocket launch suggests Pyongyang may be capable of launching a warhead 6,200 miles—putting the United States’ West Coast within range. According to U.N. sanctions, North Korea is banned from any type of missile or nuclear-technology testing, so this month it simply sent a weather satellite into orbit. But critics aren’t buying it, suggesting that the satellite launch was just practice for doing the same with a nuclear warhead. South Korea retrieved parts of the rocket that fell into its waters and, after testing its materials, determined that North Korea had secured a range of over 10,000 kilometers (6,200 miles) for a warhead between 500 and 600 kilograms in size—that’s roughly 1,100 to 1,300 pounds.
