Just wondering when a republican will introduce a bill outlawing the nazi flag?

That would be hell for a conservative running for office or re-election:

Vote for outlawing = loss of trump's base.
Vote against = opposition's wet dream.

How do/would we treat the ISIL flag being flown in our country? Would it be confiscated and those waving it added to some list? They both represent groups of people who were trying to form a caliphate.......both are also failed states that terrorize......
