A shame to change a cult classic... Happy memories of Saturday night watching on telly (especially Daisy Duke !)

The U.S. politicians apparently cant do a thing about the guns so they have manipulated attention towards the flag, and the sheep are falling for it. ::)
The Confederate flag has many more historic connotations than simply racism / white supremacy etc. It shouldn't be taking the blame for Americas gun problems.
