Media: Hey, even though we’re intentionally misleading folks, you guys should lighten up!
There’s a pretty active media campaign portraying the NRA as bullies picking on the poor, hapless little mayors in Mayors Against Guns. It fits the narrative that NRA = bad. Unfortunately, the truth is more like quite a few mayors didn’t know what they were signing up for and, in fact, some didn’t even sign up at all and discovered they were members. Anyway, the press says you should lighten up about all that.

They want you to lighten up because, yet again, their irrelevancy is showing– They’re not the ones who broke the story. “Shush! You’re making us look bad.”
