I guess they can do this.

But what's the point? If I really want a confederate flag, I'm guessing there are a hundred or more other shops that I can procure one from in the area.

    Interesting. Yes, just what is the point? The black population in California is like 6%. Perhaps had they done this in Mississippi they would have something to crow about. This just seems like a stupid game with legislation to have something to throw at a politician who voted the wrong way Only one fell for it. Protecting the right to buy the Confederate flag wasn’t worth the headache that one lone politician has created for himself. It will be interesting to see if he is up for reelection this year, and whether or not his vote becomes an issue for him or the Republican party.

    I don’t think anyone cares if you can buy the flag or not. That really wasn’t the point.

        And they will now paint him as a racist in a state that half the population is latino. It will only add fuel to the already heated argument that the Republican base is made up of racists.
        Idiot. He isn’t smart enough to be governor. There are legal steps citizens can take to repeal the law if they think their rights are being stepped on. The confederate flag means nothing to a Californian. This was a throw-a-way tactic.

    California State departments may well be prohibited from selling Confederate memorabilia, but I don't think a ban on selling Confederate memorabilia on State property will fly, *if other memorabilia is allowed to be sold on State property*.
