Here are the actual facts, Anheuser Busch, as a company, is not waging a campaign against the NRA.
However, Adolphus Busch IV, ONE of the heirs in the Anheuser-Busch beer-making family, has reportedly resigned from the National Rifle Association because he disagrees with the NRA's priorities in the current debate over gun legislation.
“The NRA I see today has undermined the values upon which it was established,†Busch wrote in a letter obtained by KSDK-TV in St. Louis. “Your current strategic focus places a priority on the needs of gun and ammunition manufacturers while disregarding the opinions of your 4 million individual members.†Busch added that the NRA’s board of directors is dominated by manufacturing interests and says it represents their interests rather than those of gun owners.
