    I like the Gonzales flag, hurriedly designed and made by Texican defenders at Gonzales. They turned away General Cos and his army when they came to capture an artillery piece the Texicans had.

    The flag was the ultimate Second Amendment statement:

    A white field with a picture of a cannon, and the challenge, "COME AND TAKE IT."
