Attention Joe Biden: I wouldn't touch this with an 11-foot pole!

New York Attorney General Moves To Dissolve The NRA After Fraud Investigation

The attorney general of New York took action Thursday to dissolve the National Rifle Association following an 18-month investigation that found evidence the powerful gun rights group is "fraught with fraud and abuse."

Attorney General Letitia James claims in a lawsuit filed Thursday that she found financial misconduct in the millions of dollars and that it contributed to a loss of more than $64 million over a three-year period.


It's great news from a Democrat's perspective, and I, for one, am totally behind her effort, but I think Joe Biden should avoid the subject as much as possible, perhaps by pointing out that it's an action by the State of New York that doesn't concern the federal government.

I don't agree that this is politically beneficial but it is the path he has chosen.

"Good morning Ms. James. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to take down the NRA, a not-for-profit organization registered in the state of New York. As always, should you be brutally attacked by Trump's reelection campaign, the Democratic presidential nominee will disavow any knowledge of your actions. This tape will self-destruct in five seconds."
