Will yesterday’s dreary Supreme Court decision on guns actually hurt Republicans by taking the issue off the table this November?

Salon thinks so.

“What the National Rifle Association does is try to scare gun owners by telling them Democrats are going to take their guns away,” said Doug Hattaway, a Democratic strategist who advised Hillary Clinton this year, and Gore when he ran for the White House. “Well, the Supreme Court has just said nobody’s going to take their guns away.”

That would be a silver lining, I suppose…..
