Commandments

Is there a relationship between the failure of the House to pass more gun laws and the overwhelming support to have our public schools display the Ten Commandments? Perhaps I’m being naive but it seems to me that if the American people were willing to guide their lives by these 10 simple rules of behavior, we would not need many of the laws we now have.
