“The city is home to Grinnell College, a selective liberal arts institution known for its commitment to social justice.”

Good. What could be more socially just than providing people the means to defend themselves?

Selective liberal arts institution and social justice....

The author didn’t see the irony in that?

They do a lot more than just magazines.

Brownells is the worlds largest supplier of firearms accessories and gunsmithing tools. Their headquarters and main facility is still located in Montezuma, Iowa where the business began.

Here's a link to their history:

They have a huge selection of everything you could ever need for firearm repairs, accessories, and reloading equipment.

I stop into their front office regularly just to pick up catalogs for friends. Very friendly Midwestern values people.

Iowa is much like Pa, with mostly Conservative people, but infested with with lib-dem-leftist filth in the big cities and govt’s, like Des Moines, Ames, Iowa City, Davenport, Dubuque etc. I went to Drake Univ in Des Moines, from ‘67-’71, and the place was already being infested with lib-dem trash. Probably a lot worse now.

They probably got one hell of a deal from someone to put the new building there. The existing facilities in Montezuma are not exactly a long way from I-80 to begin with, but maybe they wanted more than one basket for all the eggs and now they have some leverage.

I used to get all my shooting supplies from a local, family-owned brick and mortar store that went back to the early 1900s, but in the late '70s or early '80s they moved from downtown to a modern building out on the highway. At the same time, they decided that overdecorated athletic shoes and overpriced sweatshirts were the future - and apparently they were - so their original hunting/fishing business became essentially an appendix. With no other sources near to hand, I turned to Brownell's. It's kind of hard for me to believe I have been their customer for thirty years. Time flies.

social justice by 230 grains is the best justice of all.

Grinnell “College” sounds like an institution that would be loaded with loud-mouth, extremist radicals who hate both America and themselves. Those born black wish they were white and those born white wish that they were black. Freaks of nature.

I have their catalog. They sell a lot of firearms and gunsmithing supplies which are hard to find.

I just realized I haven’t ordered anything from them in a few years. Their gunsmithing screw drivers fit screws so much better than regular ones.
