I can't belive the flag thing is being used to mis direct the real issues in this case. Perhaps had all this outrage and awareness been focused on mental health, poor parenting and gun culture, to name a few, some real progress could be made. I'm curious what the expected end game is by banning the flag, the are thousands, perhaps millions of rascists in the US who own guns that would never think of doing this.
I think casual acceptance of racism is a real issue here, and that is what the flag represents. Is it the largest issue? Not by far. But it is low hanging fruit.
