The Berry Amendment is a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would purportedly fix everything that is wrong with the country. It is famous for its brevity: "Money is not speech; corporations are not people."

The right given to Americans to own firearms for hunting, sports shooting, self protection and to defend against tyranny both foreign and domestic.
America came to being when our forefathers sailed across the ocean to escape their OWN countries religious persecution of them for being Puritans, so they knew a thing about how their own birth country can turn to tyrannical ideals, this became even more evident when the British attacked. During the early war for independence, which was thrust upon early America, many soldiers had to use their own guns from home due to the fact that gun production couldn't keep up with the demand, which without guns being so widespread, the war would not have gone in Americas favor.
After being freed from British control, it was evident that if this nation was to become a shinning beacon to all those wishing to be free, not only would its citizens need to be ready for another attack from a foreign power, but also be vigilant of corruption in their own country and have the means to fix said corruption by their own hands. Thus, the bill of rights was enacted.

Ukrainian Citizen: "I sure wish we'd had a 2nd Amendment like those Americans have before Putin attacked us, then we'd wouldn't have this weapons shortage. At least we can have guns now."

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.
The Third Amendment gets so lonely; no one seems to care as passionately about this one as the others.

In Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise reexamined in any Court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
This ensures that all trespass fines collected By the Holy Okie will never be considered worthy of counter-suits for the fines fall short of twenty dollars by the amount of a single McKinney Penny. If a suit is filed all that may be collected is A Penny for every twenty that is being sought. example: If the suit is for $100 then only a Nickle can be recovered.

Bill: Hey, Jim I heard you were suing that Totalitarian tyrant Blackfoot redneck Leprechaun Lord Bud to recover those fines for trespass, how did it go?
Jim: I combined six years of fines so the amount would be in excess of twenty dollars but because of his 7th amendment rebuttal I could only recover a Nickle. Damn common law keeps protecting that tyrant and the jury was laughing the whole time.

The amendment that defends the right of all the others. It allows citizens to defend themselves against criminals and tyrannical sons of bitches. The first may be the most important but without the second, no Americans rights are safe.
“You support the second amendment?!!, you fascist piece of shit!!!”
“I’m a fascist because I support the peoples right to defend themselves against governments trying to suppress and take them over by force?”
“Of course you are you white supremacist bigot!!”
“Maybe study up on fascism…”
“Are you mansplaining me?!!”
