I assume this is an attempt at humor.

There is nothing at the federal level which speaks of a "wall" separating "church and state" but just let that same town try to put a 10 Commandments plaque in front of its courthouse...

Except that pesky little thing called the Constitution, it is amazing that a right that is found in the Constitution is banned while a right that is never found once in the Constitution or the Bill of Rights is exalted as supreme law (abortion).

Unless the words "the right OF THE PEOPLE to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED" is interpreted to mean that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
