Think any of the assholes carrying on about the 2nd Amendment will care at all about the 1st?

The Third Amendment to the Constitution:

Article the third... Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances...


Is there anybody here who thinks that Johnny the Robber Roberts, Clarence Corruption Clown, Brett the Brute of Forcings, Saint Amy Cornfed Barrett or any of their ilk give a flying fuck about the Bill or Rights outside of declaring mass murderers a "Well Regulated Militia?"

Anyone?

I don't think Barrett ( other than her anti-abortion stance ) is as onboard with the Trump dictatorship as the right assumes... and Roberts... you never know.

The Third Amendment has to do with quartering soldiers. These are parts of the original Bill of Rights. https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution/constitution.htm
