Nike isn’t the only company that’s decided to try its hand at political activism this week. On Tuesday, Levi Strauss & Co. CEO Chip Bergh published a piece for Fortuneoutlining his company’s official plans to team up with Michael Bloomberg’s “Everytown for Gun Safety” group to fund new efforts at promoting gun control legislation with other American business leaders.

“I’m proud to announce,” Bergh said in the piece, “that Levi Strauss & Co. is partnering with Everytown for Gun Safety and executives including Michael Bloomberg to form Everytown Business Leaders for Gun Safety, a coalition of business leaders who believe, as we do, that business has a critical role to play in and a moral obligation to do something about the gun violence epidemic in this country.”

After lamenting that “Americans shouldn’t have to live in fear of gun violence” and touting his company’s history as “a pioneer of the American West and one of the great symbols of American freedom,” Bergh went through the updates that Levi and Strauss intends to make to its pro-gun control policies in some detail (Levi’s has already banned concealed and open carry of firearms in their stores nationwide).

Go buy a gun this weekend. Go crazy and buy 2. Buy American made gun products. Federal ammo. Hoppee gun cleaning. Uncle Mikes holsters. Buy a gun. Buy a scary one that is black. Buy one with the idea that you are doing so because the 2nd amendment is in place to protect the populace and individual from an onerous government, not for hunting, not for self defense. Buy more guns and send a message.

Yeah, it just popped into my head. Hopefully I'm not plagerizing anybody, but I thought it was pretty good!
