Adolphus Busch IV Resigns Lifetime Membership From The NRA..

[twyacht]

Perhaps since he was against selling out to a European Co. InBev, before he was for it, and now he is against his NRA membership, when before he was for it......

Consumers can fill their frosted mugs with something else....

 Busch Brewing Heir Resigns Long-Time NRA Membership

Friday, 19 Apr 2013 02:22 PM

By Sandy Fitzgerald

The heir to the Busch brewing family's fortune Thursday resigned his lifetime membership to the National Rifle Association because of the powerful group's opposition to background checks for all commercial gun sales.

Adolphus Busch IV, in a letter to NRA President David Keene, wrote: "I fail to see how the NRA can disregard the overwhelming will of its members who see background checks as reasonable," the Huffington Post reports.

Busch's resignation came the day after the Senate rejected a bipartisan bill to expand background checks, along with numerous amendments to a pending gun control bill. The NRA, the capital's most-powerful lobbying force, opposes all gun control measures.

"The NRA I see today has undermined the values upon which it was established," Busch said. "Your current strategic focus clearly places priority on the needs of gun and ammunition manufacturers while disregarding the opinions of your 4 million individual members."

Busch joined the NRA in 1975, but said the group has moved in a direction he does not agree with.

“One only has to look at the makeup of the 75-member board of directors, dominated by manufacturing interests, to confirm my point. The NRA appears to have evolved into the lobby for gun and ammunition manufacturers rather than gun owners," he said in his letter to Keene.

He noted that the NRA's stand against universal background checks reverses a position it took in 1999 following the shootings at Columbine High School in Colorado. Busch also said he can't comprehend how the NRA's opposition to a ban on assault weapons ban and high-capacity magazine's advances its vision of gun safety.

Natty Ice. Its cheaper and tastes the same. Its what I drink on the boat as I have a strict no glass policy. On land I drink real beer. Either way, avoiding Bud is the easiest boycott ever. Its like asking me to boycott "The View".

Dude, Natty IS brewed by Anheiser Busch.  You'll have to start drinking Miller Lite, or some other sex in a canoe beer.

DoH! Damn corporate bullshat! I therefore open the floor to to nominations for any cheap beer other than Miller (I just don't like it) that's under a buck a can to be the new boat beer. The main criteria is that it has to be easily available and not be preceeded with the term "lite" (latin for faggot). Yeah, I know, but hey, I'm defending, God, guns, America and non-communist beer here damnit!

After living over 20 years in NASCAR country, NC. Just a few observations regarding the Busch Series that Adolphus Sponsors.

Uh, there are millions of NASCAR fans that yes ( I know it's shocking),    that lean Conservative, love their Bibles, Guns, Family, Friends, and BEER.

They are also not all stupid rednecks that don't pay attention to current events.

Messing with a large portion of your demographic, and your base, from a financial standpoint, is a BAD idea.

Budweiser fans are hardcore,.....and own guns, are members of the NRA, and probably will come to the conclusion that ol' Adolphus is a sell out.

Good business strategy Adolphus!!!! Probably could have just kept your mouth shut.

But then how would Schumer's c@ck have gotten in? Sorry, I'm channeling Tom. Its just after the defeat of the AWB, a clear victory for the Constitution, I am out of patience with these people.
