If it were legitimate historical items they were selling, that'd be one thing. But if they're just making knock-off replicas for Nazi wannabe's, I'd have a problem dealing with them.

I agree and that's why I'll have to tun my eyes elsewhere.

There are other items in there that are to say the least questionable. Lock picking kits and instruction manuals, belt buckle knives, wrist sheathes for knives and throwing darts, all kinds of stealthy type of weapons and accessories. A little odd in this post 9-11 homeland security world.
Also there are a lot of the "rebel flag" themed items. Banners, flags, shirts, more knives, hats etc. Not getting too far into that debate but, that is another symbol of that separatist thinking. Even a shirt that reads "Speak English or Get Out" with a grinning bulldog in front of the flag. In a perfect world, you might think that someone on a panel somewhere in their offices would have to stand up and say something. In reality that very panel is wiping their asses with $100 bills they just got from all those suburban skinheads and wannabees out there.
