Democrats shooting themselves in the foot again 3 months before the election

In a time where the Republican party is scrambling to put out fires and are performing considerably worse in polls (no 30 year republican hate machine against Hillary this time), New York attorney general is looking into taking down the NRA for the (objectively true) fraud going on. After sitting on this for months.

Should the NRA go down? Absolutely. They're a scummy GOP slush fund full of gun manufacturing lobbyists scamming tons of people out of money.

But now's not the time. The goal is to dissuade people from going to the polls and voting for Trump. But now it's super fecking easy to spin it as "Democrats want to take away your 2A rights" and suddenly Billy Bob and his 88 inbred cousins have gotten all riled up again, despite the fact that anyone with a shred of common sense should realize that the best possible thing for the oh so important 2A rights is to decouple from the NRA (and disband it in favor of an actual gun rights organization) and the GOP, as there are a ton of gun rights advocates who don't agree with either of those

Read the room and wait until November passes ffs. It's like y'all want to re-elect Trump
