6. So is he saying...

He's blaming this on a lack of state-mandated prayer in school (to a Christian God and/or Jesus one presumes) but he doesn't really say what would happen if we DID have prayer in the schools.

Is he saying that would be the end of death on school property? Or just no more murders at school ever? Or if he conceded there might be an occasional murder at school - even at a prayerful god-fearing school - it just won't ever be children. Or at least never more than one child at a time. Will God restrict himself to a quota? No prayer in school: mass murders everywhere. Prayer in school: no mass murders more than once every 10 years.

So many ways to dissect his idiotic remark. Wish some interviewer would take his comment seriously and at face value and ask him questions like these. Make him clarify in numbing detail every aspect of his claim.
