Aye, the first amendment, but it still is our flag, and we take pride in it and its origins. Some Americans see it as a symbol of the adversity through which our country was founded, and a sign of respect for the men and women who have given their lives to found, defend, and protect this nation and the people within. As such, they see someone burning or banning the flag as a slap in the face to those people. In their mind, regardless of what you believe politically, those people have indirectly given their lives for you, and you need to respect at least that act alone by respecting the flag.
