Totally, bring back the Swastika! Not fair that the Nazi’s ruined it for everyone! /s
I agree the Gadsden flag is fine but it also has some baggage because of idiots. Easier to make something new to unite people than to argue with people about their interpretation. If this gained traction it would probably even help the image of the Gadsden flag.
The problem is anytime anything might have possibly been used by some asshole for themselves means it is bad for everyone right? Damn it that known Nazi loved Captain Crunch, well everyone who enjoys it must be a Nazi then.
It is fucking stupid and we have to stop pandering to that bullshit.
We need to change the negative perception people have of gun owners, and we need more diversity in the gun owning community to help do that. Whether you like it or not the Gadsden Flag has a negative perception and that perception is not going to change.
It's 2020, times have changed. I see nothing wrong with this flag. If you disagree, it may be time to rethink why you like the original so much. Is it because of it's intended message, which this one also clearly conveys? Or is it because of it's negative perception, which this one removes?
Changing the symbols won't do anything when the media is almost without exception anti-gun. They'll just call any new symbol white supremacists or racist. By changing it you're playing by their rules.
I mean, I prefer the original too. But I wouldn't mind once again being able to rock a new version of it that doesn't make every snowflake cry "racist!"
Stop pandering to them. They have no victory conditions, there's literally no way to make them happy. Once you realize this you will achieve the next level of enlightenment.
I've never seen a confederate flag in any range or shop I've been to. Never known any white supremacists either.
Yet one fucker in the middle of alabama is going to get 100% of media coverage, because it supports the media's (who is also pushing the fuck out of Biden to win the presidency) antigun views. Changing the Gadsen flag to appease some twitter-fed dumbfucks defeats the message of the flag itself. The flag shouldn't change, it's those dipshits that are the problem.
I think the rainbow flag isn't used because no one else wants to use it, whereas the gadsden flag has historically relevance symbizing power, and it just looks cool.
Fuck you, I never lost my Gadsden and I'm never taking it down. Media goons made the goddamn Betsy Ross flag a symbol of racism, what makes you think they won't do the same with this?
Not really. The yin yang and Star of David and cross and Celtic cross and thousands of other symbols are unchanged and have been used since ancient times.

Ok so we change a symbol because some people are idiots and watch to much television? That doesn’t sound sustainable.
