Adolphus Busch IV, heir to the Busch family brewing fortune, resigned his lifetime membership in the National Rifle Association on Thursday,
writing in a letter to NRA President David Keene, "I fail to see how the
NRA can disregard the overwhelming will of its members who see
background checks as reasonable." (My emphasis)
....
"The NRA I see today has undermined the values upon which it was
established," wrote Busch. "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."
How much more insane commentary will the members have to hear from Wayne LaPierre before there is a stampede out of the National Rifle Association? How many more cowardly retreats from voting for background checks by members of Congress before they awaken to the fact that 90% of the citizens of the US favor background checks? For whom do the craven Congress critters work? The citizens or the NRA? I think we know.
