You don't think that a manufacturer tries to use a replica flag as a tag for a reason?

They are using the marketing of a symbol because of what it means.

What about a shirt with the US flag on it? Does it count?

What if I make a shirt out of the US flag? Does that count?

(A point I am trying to make in all this is that due to the gray area, how do you word a law that is very restrictive and precise, outlawing some behavior under certain conditions but nother other behavior or other conditions?

And then the practicality of trying to enforce it, the legal challenges and defense of such events...

The amount of time, and money spent on this law would be immense. And then for a very plausible and likely constitutional challenge to invalidate the law...

I am sure Congress has a lot more important things to do...for example, protecting the rights the Constitution actually gives people.)
