There are a lot of people out there who think that burning the flag is protected by the first amendment, and there are other that think it is not. The answer lies in what type of flag it is.
If the flag was bought by the person who is burning it, then they have full freedom to burn it if they want to, but if I buy a flag and someone burns it, then they do not have ANY freedom to take my property and destroy it.
With that being said, there will be many that will rejoice
that and say that "see, see.. I can burn the flag". Those people also need to understand that someone else has the full right to burn any flag that they want to in this country. They can burn the LGBT flag, they can burn the American Flag, they can burn the Gadsden Flag, they can burn the Mexican flag, or any flag that they want to. People cannot try to stop someone from burning the LGBT flag, but then turn the corner and try to burn the American flag.
