NPR Reporter Has No Idea What ‘Come And Take It’ Means

Sunday marked the 181st anniversary of the Battle of Gonzales, the first military engagement of the Texas Revolution, when Texian militiamen, responding to Mexican soldiers demanding the surrender of a small brass cannon, coined the now-famous battle cry, “Come and Take It!”

An NPR reporter marked this anniversary, claiming that Second Amendment activists have no appreciation of its origins or what it means in context. The reporter found people in Gonzales that objected to the flying of the "Come and Take It" flag. The history goes a lot farther back than the reported knew.



Now the flag is spreading among Second Amendment enthusiasts, as well as other venues unrelated to gun control
