Good letter you sent and posted here. I saw something on a site on the net about people calling the 2nd amendment obsolete. There was a conversation on it and the question was asked what is the 3rd Amendment and why did the founders put it in the Bill Of Rights right after the 2nd Amendment. Seems the prohibition of quartering troops in private home was a touchy subject and as foremost in the founders thinking. The British made it a practice to quarter their troops amongst the civilian population. No one could refuse this order. The troops had a free reign to eat what the people had, to help themselves to the peoples private property, their women, daughters, and so. Many families were force to leave their homes due to the terror this caused, and were attacked for leaving the property. It must have been interesting times. Anyway how many people even bother to learn what the Third Amendment is and why it was considered important to the writers. Have fun if you can find this discussion on the net. Regards
