But there’s all kinds of accessories at Palmetto State Armory with the Gadsen on it. d;^)

Such censorship relies on coercively-imposed restrictions on speech which, in America, was intended to be that speech which was unrestrained by political fiat or that which might "offend" another.
As a matter of fact, that great champion of the rights of conscience and free speech, Thomas Jefferson, stated:
"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."Contrast that idea of freedom with the group think imposed on college and university students who are subject to haughty and arrogant "professors," bureaucrats and politicians of the "progressive" mindset!
These assorted mind controllers have concluded the view expressed by Thomas Jefferson here is dangerous and must be opposed. Their bias in favor of "progressivism" blinds them to the real intent and purpose of the First Amendment's protections.
You should wear it in public along with a Trump hat!
The only race-related right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect is voting rights. This is evidenced by the 15th Amendment.
But since work environment issues are clearly outside the scope of voting rights, the feds have no constitutional authority to decide INTRAstate workplace policy on the basis of race imo.
In fact, since the states gave Congress the specific power to legislatively strengthen all rights that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect when the states ratified the 14th Amendment, Congress has the constitutional authority only to strengthen the 1st Amendment-protected free speech rights of people who wear expressive t-shirts imo.
Another major constitutional problem with this issue is that Congress should not be front-ending itself with constitutionally undefined independent federal regulatory agencies like the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission.
In fact, note that the Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide these clauses from Congress, to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected bureaucrats running constitutionally undefined agencies like the EPA, IRS and EEOC.
So Congress has a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative powers whether it wants it or not.
But by delegating legislative / regulatory powers to non-elected bureaucrats, powers that the states have never constitutionally delegated to Congress in this case, corrupt Congress is wrongly protecting such powers from the wrath of the voters in blatant defiance of Sections 1-3 mentioned above.
Also note that by allowing federal officials outside the legislative to get away with stealing legislative branch powers, stolen 10th Amendment-protected state powers in this case, that corrupt lawmakers are letting outsiders do their unconstitutional, unpopular work for them. And by letting outsiders do their dirty work for them, lawakers are able to keep their voting records clean so that they can fool low-information patriots into reelecting them.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to support Trump / Pence by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers to support Trumps vision for making America great again for everybody, but will put a stop to unconstitutonal, vote-winning inteference in state affairs.
Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

Here is the flag of the First Battalion, Westmoreland County PA (in which several of my ancestors served) designed when the inhabitants issued the Hannastown Resolve against the British - in 1775
I would have used it as a grease or oil rag.
Media hacks. We can decide between the other two after that.
I would wear one if that awful snake wasn’t on it, Lol. I have an irrational phobia of those horrible things.
I have seen more Gadsden flags the past few months than I have in my entire life. On certain weekends, I see groups of young men drive through town with Gadsden, American &, sometimes, the Confederate flags flying on their vehicles. I think they know something’s coming & are getting ready.
Regarding this story, these snowflakes need to get a life.
Plus, you can leave Jefferson nickels in places to trigger BLM special snowflakes.
"He left a Jefferson nickel and a Washington quarter on my lawn! Horrors!"
This is the naval jack during RevWar times.
I like it better than the Gadsden. American stripes, and a stretched out snake. Easier to replicate than the poor coil on the Gadsden.
My iPad is racist I suppose.
LOL. See above
Yea, the red and white stripes was the Sons of Liberty.
easy to fix. take it to the range next time.
I suppose they’re going to tell us now that Crispus Attucks was 1/4 black at best...
