Shep Smith: ‘Nauseating’ How Both Sides of Gun Issue Come Out After Shooting
mediaite.com ^ | 4/4/2014 | Noah Rothman

Fox News Channel anchor Shepard Smith spoke with Fox News Sunday anchor Chris Wallace on Friday about the ongoing investigation into the shooting at Ft. Hood when he expressed his revulsion over the debate over access to guns that follows a mass shooting. He said it was “nauseating” how both sides of the gun issue come out “screaming” largely before the victims have even been buried.

“If somebody wanted to bring a gun up here, you could bring a gun up here,” Smith observed. “You can’t stop every criminal in advance.”

Normally, they could have ended the headline after the word nauseating (Shep Smith, Nauseating) but in this instance, he's right that you can't stop all these things in advance. Simply because you don't know when they'll happen. Purty good deducing there shep.

Its amazing how these “celebrities” must tow a politically correct line to maintain their big bucks marketability. Politically correct self censorship stifles creativity and problem solving. If on duty serving military officers in uniform were required to wear their side arms,would this carnage be occurring?

I guess with this logic, he’s also nauseating since reporters come out of the woodwork after every shooting and before the victims are even buried.

Shep, only one side comes out after a shooting and that is the anti-Second-Amendment cadre of the anti-Constitutionalist idiot libtards.
Is the other side, the Patriot side, supposed to keep their mouths shut and allow the statists to get away with their lies about a right that has stood this nation well since its inception?
Shep, you are a pathetic, nauseating, ignorant moron.

"Both sides come out after a shooting..."

That's because EMOTIONS rule the debate on the left. CLEAR rational thought guides the right.
LEFT thought - AHHHH guns kill people - BAN ALL GUNS!!!
RIGHT thought - Who stopped the suicide shooter? (Media response a FEMALE, HERO ...) The "hero" had a "gun." Gunman knows the base is unarmed, the first encounter with someone who was armed? kills himself. Wow. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this all out. Gun Free zones are killing zones. An army base should be the last place on earth where soldiers are unarmed. Train them in proficiency of weapons and keep the bases out of the nightly news for mass shootings.

Shep, the flaming queer, is ALWAYS the first to make comment on guns. Always.

Compromise is beneficial if it leads to a solution, but on gun control it would only be an incremental step toward the left’s ultimate goal of total confiscation. I admit to harboring extreme views on gun control because compromise would accomplish nothing. It is not a solution until the other side agrees to accept it with some sense of finality and not an incremental victory. To preserve our 2nd Amendment rights, the left gives us no alternative to an extremist position.

He’s gotta have some incriminating videos or something in order to keep his job. We’d be better off if he was on cnn. Then nobody would see him. Unless of course you’re in an airport.

Nauseating the way POTUS babbles on after each incident then goes back into hiding until the next one. Didn’t he make promises the last time Ft Hood got shot up? What changed?

Maybe I’m just showing my bias about ol’ Shep, but I don’t think he’d be so nauseated if just gun grabbers made their arguments after these shootings. I’m sure he doesn’t think Bloomberg and the Moms are ghouls.

It amazes me how the 24hr stations will take off on anything. Too much time to fill I guess. Plane crash, kidnapping, slow-speed car chase, dogs stuck on an ice flow, cross-over prom queens/kings-anything to fill up the time.

The one thing that is always said whenever the newest "disaster" occurs...

"We just don't have any information and we don't want to speculate...but..."

And then off they go!

Sheppard Smith IS part of the bigger problem...

His only reason to be employed is that he is a homosexual, and they gave him a fancy new set with all the staff and gadgetry for FoxNews to justify his continued existence in that organization...

FoxNews is no different than any other media outlet, they fear the gays...

So appeasement is the preferred method of sustainability and ratings in our TV/Cable media...

As Neville Chamberlain said, “We will have gays in our time!”

Or something like that...;-)

Who is the FIRST to come out Shep?
The FIRST to try to exploit a tragedy by blaming the our side for resisting more useless gun laws that do nothing but try to make criminal out of honest citizens,
And they have the audacity to make the claim the groups like the NRA won't support any "Reasonable Restrictions" on guns.
We've had almost 50 years of "Reasonable Restrictions" that gun owners have accepted. Some albeit reluctantly, and we are Still being told that just "One More Restriction" will end senseless shootings.

Keeping and Bearing arms is a right in America.
Shep, it you and your leftist buddies respected that, there would be no need to hear either side. You wouldn’t have to be nauseated.

One side is on the side of the Constitution, the other side is not and wish to take away a right guaranteed by the Constitution to American citizens.
