Confederate flag seller not worried about supply; he gets his from China

While retail giants including Walmart, Amazon and eBay banned the sale of Confederate flags following the mass murder of black churchgoers in South Carolina, stores in the central San Joaquin Valley are selling out of such merchandise.

Military supply store owners around the Valley said they are either sold out or nearly out of Confederate flags, decals, patches and other products. The trend was initially reported by CBS47. Store owners said they will continue to carry the flag and are not worried about resupply.

... Jim Long of G. I. Jim’s Military Surplus and Supply in Prather said he usually sells up to 10 Confederate flags every three months. He received 10 inquiries in the past week.

Long said he plans to continue selling the flags. Though major national flag manufacturers including Valley Forge Flag will no longer produce the Confederate flag, Long said he isn’t worried about supply because the flags he buys are made in China.
