3x5 Foot "MOLON LABE" Flag Molon labe (Greek: μολὼν λαβέ), "Come and Take", is the defiant response of King Leonidas I of Sparta to Xerxes I of Persia when Xerxes demanded that the Greeks lay down their arms and surrender. This was at the onset of the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC). "Come and take it" was also slogan used in the Texas Revolution in 1835. When Mexican officials demanded that the Texans surrender a cannon which they had received six years earlier the Texans fashioned a flag containing the phrase "COME AND TAKE IT" along with a black star and an image of the cannon. The flag has become a symbol for supporters of Second Amendment rights, the Tea Party, NRA, gun control opponents and others.
