Brownells is famous for having sold 3-years’ worth of AR-15 magazines in 3-days after the Newton shooting, and now they can be famous for a $16 million expansion that will employ up to 200 workers just outside Grinnell College in Iowa, a very liberal place.
“I think it is going to be fantastic for the community,” said Juli Sanford, owner of Juli’s Natural Foods, which sells organic food and supplements a block from the college. She said the project will bring jobs, income and visitors to Grinnell, located about 55 miles east of Des Moines.

I think I like Juli Sanford, a bleeding-heart with an eye on the bottom line.
The expansion will allow Brownells to carry more products, ship them faster and promote its brand with a highly visible location. The company is expected to open its first retail store at the site within the next year, which will include an experiential center with interactive displays featuring products.

Unemployment is low, but Grinnell officials have long hoped to add more development near the interstate and expand their tax base. The expansion has faced virtually no opposition, even at the 1,600-student college.
Conservatives creating works, don’t you love it? Apparently some people don’t:
“Grinnell has been synonymous with high-quality education, with creative and even brilliant contributions to education,” said Cheryl Thomas, a spokeswoman for Iowans for Gun Safety. “This is not a fit.”
Not a fit? I’ll tell you what’s not a fit, a Commie living in America is not a fit. Maybe Cheryl Thomas should pack her bags, I hear rat stew is pretty tasty in China, or perhaps she’s in the mood for fried roaches? Dogs? I’m not making things up, a Chinese friend one told me, “Chinese eat anything.”
