ban

Yes I can

I'm waiting too. I can't find any reliable sources saying it's been outlawed. Some companies have banned it from being sold in their outlets but Obama didn't ban it, which would've outlawed it. I'm just curious where this info you have is at. You can educate me, I'm looking forward to it.[emoji10]

He's using the word ban to refer to a store deciding not to sell it anymore. He's unable to figure out that a business owner is well within his/her right to discontinue a product for moral or ethical reasons. Or even for good business reasons whether they have a moral or ethical objection or not. It's as legal to buy, sell, and fly a Confederate flag as it was a hundred years ago and a hundred days ago.

LMAO. Go a head smart guy. Find me one person who's be arrested, charged, or in another way prosecuted for displaying/buying/selling a Confederate or American flag.

Every time you reply you add another stipulation.

I was trying to make it easy on you. If I just said arrested then you might not find anything. So I included the word prosecuted. A ban means that someone can be punished for doing something.

See at first you it was "anyone, anywhere, any flag"

Can you provide one source that anyone anywhere banned any flag?

 

[Slo_Ride 5,000+ posts]

then you changed it to just the confederate flag

No you cannot. Because not one person is banned from selling, buying, or displaying a Confederate flag. Take your rhetoric elsewhere.

then you changed it again to anyone who has been arrested, charged, prosecuted... and added american flag.

LMAO. Go a head smart guy. Find me one person who's be arrested, charged, or in another way prosecuted for displaying/buying/selling a Confederate or American flag.
