Yes, Levi Strauss is still very anti-gun

The Brady Campaign trying to drag Starbucks Coffee into the anti-open carry debate is, like the core mission of the gun grabbers, senseless, punitive of the innocent and fundamentally unfair. The coffee giant just wants to sell its wares, and is reluctant to alienate a large market segment simply because anti-rights bluenoses get all hissy when they see anyone pushing beyond social norms they deem acceptable.

Here's a company that's not innocent--in fact, they are willful leading collaborators in the global citizen disarmament movement: "American icon," Levi Strauss.

Some of us have been waving that denim flag for years--here's an early warning from Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership:

Levi Strauss, the makers of the jeans we are so fond of buying, is taking your money and contributing heavily to PAX. PAX is an organization circulating a petition to broaden the reach of the federal government to disarm America.

And here's a letter from our friends at Montana Shooting Sports Association:

That you would so clearly favor the criminal class is a mystery to me, but until you recant your uncivilized ways, I will have to recommend that Montana gun owners and members of the Montana Shooting Sports Association to no longer buy your products. After a lifetime of wearing Levi's, I'm switching to something else.

OK, but that was years ago. Perhaps public pressure has made them see the light? After all, they're airing a commercial with a Walt Whitman poem narration:

Pioneers! O Pioneers!

COME, my tan-faced children,
Follow well in order, get your weapons ready;
Have you your pistols? Have you your sharp edged axes? Pioneers! O pioneers!

Inspiring words paying tribute to the American spirit, paradoxically written by a poet who socialists consider an icon, then cynically and commercially exploited here by social engineering globalist profiteers using a beautifully read voice-over by a communist actor.

Ah well--back to the point: Where does Levis Strauss & Co. stand today on your right to keep and bear arms?

Reader "Barney B" sent me copies of his email correspondence with the clothing giant. I'll give you the CliffsNotes version, from their corporate "consumer relations" reply:

Levi Strauss & Co. believes deeply in the importance of equality, social justice, community involvement and corporate citizenship.

Here's one of the ways they manifest their deep beliefs:

In this time of need, we encourage you to give what you can at www.oxfamamerica.org.

OXFAM? Where have I heard about them before?

Oh, yeah--they're the international citizen disarmament zealots who are conjoined with IANSA to stump for a global gun grab.

I won't waste your time asking you to send these creatures an email. I'll simply observe that giving them your business, especially when so many alternatives exist, is giving aid and comfort to a proven enemy of your right to keep and bear arms. Consider that when making your clothing purchases--and next time you see gun owners wearing Levis, let them know.

I haven't bought Levi's in decades.  Every since it first came to life.  Duck Head's either.

I stopped buying them when they closed their final domestic facility some years back.  After that, no two pairs would fit the same regardless if I tried them on or not.  I didn't know they were politically connected. 

I'll stick with the Wranglers and cargos from now on.  I bought four pair of Wranglers last year for 10 bucks a pair.  Last time I bought Levis' they were about 35 bucks each..  ON SALE!...

F-em....

Wranglers are the only way to go. Maybe Dickies too, but definitely Wranglers. Only pussies metrosexuals in Texas wear Levis.

I'm guessing FQ wears Levis . . . .

Hey boy, you need to check you tone.  I haven't worn Levis...ever.  Didn't know about all this, but like the others, couldn't find two pair that ever matched.   

But yes, I'm sure FQ wears them, hell, he probably bought stock after this story.  Just kidding bud...maybe.

You are in Texas, but are you a metrosexual? No? 'Nuf said then!

[twyacht]

Haven't bought Levi's in years, but I still have a few old pairs that just fit, and are in good enough shape to keep.

I guess I'll stop buying Dockers shorts also...They're Levi's as well....

I stoped buying them when they started making them out of the country.

Wranglers (relaxed fit--yeah, Crusader needs the room) Carhardts Canvass and maybe Dickies work out well for me.  Haven't bought Levis since the '80s when the price hit double what they charged for the "off" brands.  That and the whole made out of the country thing really p!ssed me off.  These days, I wouldn't buy Levis if they made them in Florida and sold 'em for $5 a pair.  Freakin' commies are right in line with the MoveOn.org crowd and those b@st@rds could all fall in a hole and I'd sell shovels to fill it up.
