I tried to email the following to Bud's but for some reason I couldn't get the email to work. So I'm posting it here. Does anybody think Bud's should object to the CNN usage? (They don't mention Bud's by name and their use of Bud's web site screen shot is brief.)
I believe this CNN report on background checks uses a screen shot of YOUR web site saying people can essentially avoid a background check by purchasing guns from "a stranger online." Now you and I both know Bud's Guns follows the law on selling firearms. It's my opinion CNN should NOT have used a screen shot of your web site.
The full CNN quote is:
"If a criminal cannot buy a gun in a store, they can just try to get one from a neighbor, or a local gun collector, or even a stranger on line." and when they say "stranger online" that's where they flash a screen shot of your web site.
The CNN report is here and the Bud's image comes near the end at about the 1:40 mark:
