Disgust and Fury Over NRA Killing Background Checks


Some good points from Cenk.
The great-grandson of the Anheuser-Busch company renounced his membership in the National Rifle Association on Thursday, furious that the NRA helped defeat the Senate bill which would have expanded background checks in response to the tragedy in Newtown."*

Republicans in the pocket of the NRA soundly voted down background checks in the Senate, to the anger of many. 91% of Americans support background checks, but conservatives went out of their way to favor the gun manufacturers lobby over the will of the people. What telling words did lifelong member Adolphus Busch IV, heir to the Busch family brewing fortune, say as he resigned the NRA? Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
