Conservatives: If schools get shot up because we've taken Prayer out of the schools, what do you make of a Church getting shot up?

Update:

Thanks to @WageSlave for looking these up:

Mike Huckabee, running for the Republican nomination. ""Well, you know, it's an interesting thing. We ask why there is violence in our schools but we have systematically removed God from our schools. Should we be so surprised that schools would become a place of carnage?"

Update 2:

James Dobson, founder of conservative group "Focus on the Family", referring to the Newton massacre, said "we have turned our back on the Scripture and on God Almighty, I think he has allowed judgment to fall upon us. I think that's what's going on."

Joseph Farah, editor of the conservative site WND (formerly World Net Daily), wrote that the U.S. should expect "more Sandy Hooks, not fewer," because of America's "secularism"

    I am a conservative and a Christian and your question makes about 0 sense. Nobody said schools got shot up because prayer was removed from them, I don't even know of a time when prayer was in schools! Site a conservative besides some idiot kid on the Internet who said that! Schools and church are both shot up because of messed up people not because of the acts of either group.

    Guns should be profiled as a new political issues since 100% of all mass shootings involve guns.

    The Pope said churches can't make the economy an ethics free zone any more- Guns can't go on like this, either.

    The shooter was an atheist like Hillary Clinton

    The churchgoers should have been ARMED. One worshiper with a gun could have saved the bunch. Even though the Democrat Pastor was a nice guy, he voted against guns.

    Another gun free zone not so "gun free" after all... think that douche would have gotten off more than a few shots if I'd been there with my CCW?
