Powerful and staunch supporter of gun rights ends lifetime NRA membership

"The selfish spirit of commerce knows no country, and feels no passion or principle but that of gain"
Thomas Jefferson - Letter to Larkin Smith (1809)


Adolphus Busch IV is trying to tell you something. Something that only an insider can provide. Only someone who KNOWS what the NRA is REALLY all about.

But the parrots will disregard this information and continue to believe the NRA cares about the American people.

Budweiser heir Adolphus Busch IV resigns NRA membership

ST. LOUIS (KSDK) - One day after the U.S. Senate rejected a bill that would have expanded background checks on guns, one of St. Louis' most powerful and staunch supporters of gun rights ended his lifetime membership with the National Rifle Association (NRA).

"The NRA I see today has undermined the values upon which it was established," wrote Busch, who also dropped his NRA membership. "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 pro-gun organization in 1975 and has spoken before of his love of hunting. But the NRA has moved in a direction that Busch would not follow. "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 wrote.

The NRA is a cancer on this nation. They are not looking out for the safety of the citizenry, they are looking out for the profits of gun manufacturers, who don't care WHO buys a gun. Murderers, felons, wife beaters and the mentally ill are PAYING CUSTOMERS.

Grow the fuck up, you are naive.

Ummm those guys can't be paying customers because they can't buy guns from dealers (who make shit anyways).

They can buy guns from private sellers. Did you watch the video I posted? Or do you prefer willful ignorance??

The NRA runs a protection racket. They take the heat on issues like Sandy Hook to protect gun manufacturers from public scrutiny, and the NRA receives millions of dollars in return.

The NRA could care less about my protection. The NRA says if you park your car on my property, I have no right to know you have a loaded gun in your glove compartment. THAT would put me, my family and/or my employees at unwilling risk.

They also run a protection racket for politicians, just as long as they go along with EVERY SINGLE piece of legislation the NRA backs.

The N.R.A. Protection Racket
By RICHARD W. PAINTER


The most blatant protection racket is orchestrated by the National Rifle Association, which is ruthless against candidates who are tempted to stray from its view that all gun regulations are pure evil. Debra Maggart, a Republican leader in the Tennessee House of Representatives, was one of its most recent victims. The N.R.A. spent around $100,000 to defeat her in the primary, because she would not support a bill that would have allowed people to keep guns locked in their cars on private property without the property owner’s consent.

The message to Republicans is clear: “We will help you get elected and protect your seat from Democrats. We will spend millions on ads that make your opponent look worse than the average holdup man robbing a liquor store. In return, we expect you to oppose any laws that regulate guns. These include laws requiring handgun registration, meaningful background checks on purchasers, limiting the right to carry concealed weapons, limiting access to semiautomatic weapons or anything else that would diminish the firepower available to anybody who wants it. And if you don’t comply, we will load our weapons and direct everything in our arsenal at you in the next Republican primary.”

Richard W. Painter, a professor of law at the University of Minnesota, was the chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2007.

you are confusing NRA with NSSF

if you're not willing to protect yourself, why should any gun rights organization care?

How would a firearm in a glove compartment put you, your family, or your employees at risk?

The gun could leap from the glove box, open the car door and randomly chase him and his family around while shooting bullets at them.... oh no... wait... the gun is an inanimate object. Bfgrn was thinking about the cartoon versions of guns that are animated. That must be what he is afraid of.

Dont keep a tire iron in your vehicle either... those things get nuts when they go on rampages... you are putting everyone at unwilling risk.

I always try and notify people that there is a sledge hammer, a shovel, and a machete in the back of my truck. I want them to be prepared for the eminent threat. I have TRIED to teach my tools to behave, but you can never be too careful.

Or the JPFO, or the SAF.

what are these fine organizations you are talking about? they sound quite nice.

GOA is gun owners of America, SAF is second amendment foundation, and the JPFO, by far the most radical, is the Jews for preservation of firearms ownership.

How long does it take a thief to break into a car?

If an UNATTENDED lethal weapon is on MY PROPERTY, and I didn't bring it onto MY PROPERTY, I should know about it and be able to decide IF I am willing to GIVE MY PERMISSION to park there. If I knew there is an UNATTENDED lethal weapon in an UNATTENDED car parked on MY PROPERTY, do I have to have someone guard the car parked on MY PROPERTY with a loaded lethal weapon inside? What if I don't know and I see someone breaking into that car parked on MY PROPERTY and I do the neighborly responsible citizen thing and confront the thief, THEN HE CONFRONTS ME WITH A FUCKING GUN.

Who can't buy guns from manufacturers. Only FFLs can do that.

What about it? I fully support the rights of a property owner to allow whomever they want on their property. You don't have a right to search my shit, but beyond that I'm fine. I'll go somewhere else. I buy a cup of Starbucks every day because of that.
