Adolphus Busch IV, the great-grandson of the founder of Anheuser-Busch, maker of Budweiser Budweiser beer, yesterday quit the National Rifle Association in outrage at its role in blocking legislation that would have expanded background checks for gun buyers in America.

Is this Bud still for you?

[clintonh8r]

Bud = pisswater. Buh-bye, Buschie.......

[NY.SS-Bar9]

Wish I could say that I’m boycotting Bud, but I don’t drink the swill.

[Puppage]

Way to understand the entire bill, Adufus.

[ColdOne]

The Anheuser- Busch family bought land up in this area some yeas ago. Huge tree hugging family.

[CGASMIA68]

So long.Your products are swill too.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” Bud = pisswater. “

Yep.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

The NRA has the power to block votes in the Senate? News to me..

[faithhopecharity]

there are other (and much better) beers....

[woweeitsme]

I hope the word gets out on this. I don’t drink AB products anyway, but I hope this impacts their sales dramatically.

[Veto!]

This Bud is DEFINITELY not for me. Never touch another drop.

[traditional1]

That’s fine with me...Budweiser is a fart and belch producer, and pisswater beer, anyway.

“Bud” is the nadir of bottled beer. I never drank camel urine, but my guess is it tastes like “Bud”. The only thing worse is Coor’s which proably tastes like wagered down camel urine.

I HOPE every target-shooting, hunting, second Amendment supporter switches to a real man’s drink like Guiness or a local micro-brewery.

i dunno. we buy things from companies who had ceo’s never being a member of NRA in the first place.

however, by making it a political statement by quitting NRA... that will look bad.

and some people will quit drinking their stuff and treat them worst in comparison to beer companies whose ceo were never a member.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Earth to Mr. Busch: why would you be a member of the NRA if you didn’t agree with the organization’s goals?

Drinking your horse pi** beer must have killed too many of your brain cells.

[rarestia]

Used to be a stalwart AB drinker. Gone over to Sam Adams for years now. Wouldn’t go back, esp. not now.

[Truth29]

Well, since we are in a culture war to the death, hit him where it hurts - boycott Budweiser. Sometimes boycotts do have an effect; look at JC Pennys.

[The Cajun]

Way to help out your crappy beer brand..........IDIOT.
Stockholders will not be amused.

Gun control works just like prohibition did.
