Oh. Well, I was always a stickler for punctuation....

Good flag though, but GUARANTEED to get you labelled a "gun nut" everywhere it's seen, unfortunately.
 
I like it dZ!

I also like the Gladsen (sp) flag with the cannon and the words “Come and take it”

any gammarians out there

is it
Don't touch
our liberty teeth

or

Don't touch
our liberty's teeth

?
 
I'm not a gammarian, but Miss Schlinker and Mrs. Speck (9th and 10th grade English teachers, respectively) made sure I became a pretty good grammarian.

And it is the latter: Liberty's teeth.
 
Do we only have ONE liberty? If so then it should be Liberty's. If we have more than one liberty it would be Liberties'

I like the first one better, since the Gadsden flag specifically did not use punctuation, and I like its style. =)

... and I like simplicity. The less words, the better. =)~~

I just did a search for Gadsden's flag; about half the images read dont tread on me, with the other half don't tread on me. Regardless, the meaning of dont is clear, whereas the meaning of libertys is not clear. It could just as easily be a messed up plural instead of a messed up possesive.

Personally, I'd much prefer Don't Touch Our Liberty's Teeth. Remember, back then they really didn't have a standard way of writing; now we do.

Personally, I'd say something like "DON'T TREAD ON OUR LIBERTY", let it go at that, and keep the top banner, the snake and the rifle.

Let the "force" be implied, rather than explicitly stated by the text.

My opinions only, of course.
 
Kinda comes out as "don't kick liberty in the teeth" doesn't it?

As for parsing the thing; if Liberty has teeth, the possessive sense of Liberty's is correct. If the teeth are those of the mechanism of Liberty then Liberty would be correct.

I like the first flag; I wish it were punctuated as it gives credence to the Left's portrayal of us as uneducated; I think Liberty is most correct although "the teeth of Liberty" would be most correct (see first paragraph); perhaps "fangs" could be considered.

Of course, besides being "teeth" firearms are the "guarantor" of Liberty as the final "arbiter".

We are all familiar with these sayings but the uninformed public is not. The less we confuse them the better.

Gun Control: The proposition that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own panty hose, is more acceptable than allowing that same woman to defend herself with a firearm.

Go, Dennis! I love it when someone comes to the defense of proper punctuation.

My .02 -- The FFs got away with a lot because back then grammar was pretty laissez-faire, plus we expected them to do all kinds of wacky stuff like use 'f's for 's's and whatnot. Nowadays, you risk somebody writing your whole argument off on account of poor punctuation. We have enough trouble winning support without nitpicky stuff like that standing in our way.

For want of a nail and all that, y'know.

Or maybe it's just 'cos I'm picky with my students about apostrophes. Who knows.

It has been mentioned to me that the whole Washington Liberty Teeth quote is suspect

I want the flag to protest the 2nd amendment protects hunting concept that our representatives are reguritating

The "dont tread on me" concept is OK but doesn't address the marginalization of the second amendment
