The 3rd Amendment The 3rd Amendment is what keeps soldiers from quartering in our homes and what helps keep our privacy during time of peace. This is a very important Amendment because it protects our right to have a safe and private life. Sir Edward Coke stated “For a man’s house is his castle, and his home his safest refuge”.

Austin, I used to be an NRA member, I am not going to dispute what the law currently allows and that the second amendment was meant for a “well regulated militia”, however your statement “The NRA made a pledge to stand against any legislation that would limit the 2nd Amendment”, does not stand up to the history (until recently) of the NRA. I have read “the Second Amendment: A Biography, many Second Amendment articles and our current class textbook, for reference to my thinking.

In the 1920’s the National Revolver Association (a sister organization…

When the First Amendment is upheld by SCOTUS ( Supreme Court of The United State) it further fortifies it making are freedoms more secure.…
