This issue is murky for two reasons:

1. The Yes Men is assumedly not paying to promote this video (so it's not "an ad"), 2. The message is not electioneering.

We're used to seeing, "paid for by" and "I approved this..." messaging in electioneering ads that are regulated by the FEC. The NRA, a 501(c)(4), has to play by different rules to keep its status.

IANAL, but I'd assume that the NRA would need to argue that the video puts their 501(c)(4) status at risk to warrant legal action outside of just playing the copyright/damages card.

The NRA, as a 501(c)(4), is most certainly able to do electioneering, although there are of course constraints (I think it's limited to members?).

But it also has a PAC, the Political Victory Fund, which is quite able to do the usual stuff, here's their first TV ad for this election they just cut, I've set the time to the last 5 seconds where they claim it per the law: https://youtu.be/SIl20jItjHY?t=25
