Yes he was a racist, and the flag should NOT be used as an issue. But to say the flag didn't shoot anyone is like saying the Koran doesn't slam planes into buildings. Both are objects, but as you indicated, access to those objects allows people to use them for violence.
I do agree we have a flooded market of guns. They are made like candy and handed out like candy.
When is the last time you spent hundreds of dollars for a piece of candy or underwent a background check to get it?
