Apparently KBT fans are also big supporters of the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. A few months ago I made some Pro-Gun products and put them on Cafe Press for sale. What do you know? People like this stuff as much as they like my music. There are T-Shirts, Hoodies, Stickers and all sorts of goodies.

The history goes something like this (borrowed from Wikipedia)...The Greek phrase Molōn labe!  meaning "Come and take them!" is a classical expression of defiance reported by Plutarch in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae. It corresponds roughly to the modern equivalent English phrase "over my dead body," "bring it on" or, most closely, "come and get it."

"Come and take it"

was a slogan used in the Texas Revolution in 1835. At the Battle of Gonzales, a small group of Texans successfully resisted the Mexican forces who had orders to seize their cannon. As a symbol of defiance, the Texans had fashioned a flag containing the phrase along with a black star and an image of the cannon which they had received six years earlier from Mexican officials.

This was the basis for my and other designs used for the advocation of gun rights. My designs feature classic eapons like the Colt .45 Auto Pistol, the AR-15, and the AK-47 in place of the cannon.
