Fox News’ Shepard Smith and Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) scolded Congress for not a passing a terror watch list gun ban before the number of fatalities at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School was even known.
The high school is located in Parkland, Florida, where someone opened fire at roughly 2 p.m.
During live broadcast coverage on Wednesday, Sen. Nelson opened the door to a gun control discussion by saying, “Each time this happens, and how many have happened? We say, ‘Enough is enough,’ and then it happens again.”
Smith responded, “What could Congress do?”
Nelson said, “Well, we could not even [pass a bill] that would take the terrorist watch list and prohibit them a high caliber weapon or any weapon. We couldn’t even get that passed. So when you say, ‘What can be done,’ I don’t know the answer to that.”
Democrats pushed terror watch list gun control after recent terror attacks—for example, after San Bernardino (December 2, 2015) and Orlando Pulse (June 12, 2016)—but it was defeated each time because the attackers were not on a list to begin with, thus the push was viewed as more gun control for gun control’s sake.
Yet now, with the number of injuries and casualties inside Marjory Stoneman Douglas High still unknown, Smith and Nelson and scolding Congress for not passing more gun control.

I can’t stand the whiny little Sheppy. The first time I saw him, I knew there is something seriously wrong with that freak.
Forget it. It doesn’t matter how many school kids are killed by MOSSAD assassins. We’re keeping our guns, and getting revenge for the kids, too.
With a few exceptions like that psycho family in California starving their kids, home schooled kids would never have to deal with this sorta thing–even if the parents were Mossad-loving Christian Zionists!
Was wondering when someone at FOX News would reveal himself or herself as a traitor to the second amendment, because it had to happen. Because ALL MSM news media is controlled by the forces of Evil–and any idiot who still believes FOX News stands for We the People are just that–idiots! (And, actually, Breitbart isn’t much better–would you Puh-Lease move to Israel where you belong?)
Shep needs to control his own “little gun”.
Shep boy, once a dick always a dick.
