Using the 3rd amendment in defense of the 2nd amendment

[link to www.youtube.com]

At 1:44 is a nice explanation of the 3rd amendment in the context your speaking of.

you know you can also look to the court case where the reason sawed off shotguns are baned due to them being inaccuarate at long range thus the need for 18" barrel and no well armed militia would use it for that reason

Hey wow, thanks for the pin Chip!

Wow, great article! Nice find, Resister!

5 stars

That is just beautiful.

5* and Hope New Jersey can withstand the commie assault. Can't find yesterdays thread for a link. ???

fail.

I am definitely no constitution whatever, but when you lost habeas corpus, you lost everything.

Just reading an excerpt from the amendment where it says:

but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Doesn't this mean that if it's legislated then they can be quartered?

Amendment III

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Posted for the benefit of those who have never bothered to read the Bill of Rights.

Because a thing is made into law does not make it constitutional, right, or presume that the people will comply. A perfect example would be the latest NDAA that would seem to make several of the amendments in the bill of rights irrelevant. No law that violates the constitution is valid though and the people are not bound to obey unconstitutional law. All the more reason for the second amendment, so that the people can defend themselves from the tyranny of unconstitutional law. Even in trying to invalidate it, you have offered another reason in support of the second amendment.

Good find.

No, it means that the Government can contract with property owners to house military, it cannot forceit.

The founding fathers knew that contract makes law, the prohibition of the 3rd amendment was total restriction on private property being forcefully used as military assets. There was a very real need for private property to be used, but the Government would have to pay for it and get permission, thus the "but in a matter to be prescribed by law" (the power to contract between the people and the Government) Contract makes law, not just congress.

If means if those damn commies from california are running across texas in a war, the military can commandeer your house as a base to defend from. If your a prepper, you have already done most of the work for them.

In times of peace, noone may set foot on your property without a warrant or unless seeing or hearing an emergency from public grounds.

You need to worry when a court decides that an emergency can be something simple and stupid, like your plant needs watering.

no but the dude above you got it right.

5* thanks for the link.

You forget one very important thing, OP: Liberals can't process logic.

Or history or facts or plain ol truth

How about you provide a quote of the 2nd amendment as well.. I'm sure not too many of you realize that the 2nd amendment doesn't allow the individual to bear arms. Read it. Become educated. Don't be a sheeple.

" The Third Amendment makes clear that “arms” equals “arms adequate to repel soldiers.” The Third Amendment is a fascinating anti-fascist statement."

There are two principle versions of the Second Amendment: one version was passed by Congress, while the other is found in the copies distributed to each individual state and later ratified by them

As passed by the Congress:A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

As ratified by the States: A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Stipulations of the 2nd Amendment:

The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution protects the right of the individual to keep and bear firearms.

The right to arm oneself is viewed as a personal liberty to deter undemocratic or oppressive governing bodies from forming and to repel impending invasions. Furthermore, the right to bear arms was instituted within the Bill of Rights to suppress insurrection, participate and uphold the law, enable the citizens of the United States to organize a militia, and to facilitate the natural right to self-defense.

The Second Amendment was developed as a result of the tyrannous rule of the British parliament. Colonists were often oppressed and forced to pay unjust taxes at the hand of the unruly parliament. As a result, the American people yearned for an Amendment that would guarantee them the right to bear arms and protect themselves against similar situations. The Second Amendment was drafted to provide for the common defense and the general welfare of the United States through the ability to raise and support militias.

And onto the old slip n' slide of shitheads flinging definitions of "militia" at each other we go!

have you read the Preamble to the Bill of Rights?

btw, here's a link to Amendment II.

"... the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Perhaps you are one of those people who needs to learn How To Read. [link to line-in-the-sand.blogspot.com]

The Second Amendment and a detailed definition:

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed." [link to line-in-the-sand.blogspot.com]

It is an individual right.
