The Come And Take It flag serves three major purposes: 

1. To prompt people to examine gun control from a historical perspective, so they can see from the past that gun control has been the work of tyrants, and those resisting gun control were standing for liberty; 

2. To provide the pro-gun community with a symbol encouraging them to fight in the face of overwhelming odds, and more importantly, to never compromise the Second Amendment; 

3. To warn those promoting gun control, that they are walking in the footsteps of tyrants, and that we cannot acquiesce to their destruction of our rights and liberty.
