In recent years, Levi Strauss & Co. have banned guns from their stores. Now they are partnering with a far left gun control group called Everytown USA. It’s sad to see another iconic American company fall prey to progressive policies.
The Hill reports:
Levi Strauss teams up with gun control group: ‘We simply cannot stand by silently’
American denim giant Levi Strauss & Co. announced Tuesday that it is launching a series of new initiatives to benefit groups working to prevent gun violence.
Levi Strauss’s CEO and President Chip Bergh wrote in Fortune on Tuesday that the company “simply cannot stand by silently when it comes to issues that threaten the very fabric of the communities where we live and work.”
“You may wonder why a company that doesn’t manufacture or sell guns is wading into this issue, but for us, it’s simple,” Bergh wrote. “Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear of gun violence. It’s an issue that affects all of us — all generations and all walks of life.”
Bergh said it was his responsibility to speak up for important issues since he leads a “values-drive company that’s known the world over as a pioneer of the American West and one of the great symbols of American freedom.”
He added that he is not advocating to repeal the 2nd Amendment nor calling gun owners irresponsible.

“…Judge Kavanaugh has gone further than the Supreme Court and has written that because assault weapons are ‘in common use,’ assault weapons…cannot be banned under the Second Amendment.” – @SenKamalaHarris#StopKavanaugh ⬇️https://t.co/3C4vUgeX0s

Does that look like an organization which supports the Second Amendment?
