Amy Schumer, Sen. Chuck Schumer speak out against gun violence
Schumer is hoping the influence of her cousin will help his proposals succeed where so many others failed.
Congress has not acted considerably in terms of gun control laws, but Sen. Charles Schumer. “I don’t know how else to say it”. And sticks. You are going to lose money if you don’t do this. “There is a way to stop them”. They want to encourage states to share more information with the federal background check system; figure out the best way to handle getting people suffering from mental illness involuntarily committed to psychiatric care; and give more money to treatment programs for mental illness and substance abuse.
Amy Schumer said at Monday’s press conference, “These shootings have got to stop”. The Schumers are teaming up to try and enact gun control regulations.
Comedian Amy Schumer issued an impassioned call for gun control legislation alongside her cousin, Sen.
The topic became personal for Schumer last month when 59-year-old Russell Houser allegedly shot and killed two people before turning the gun on himself during a showing of Schumer’s new movie “Trainwreck” in Lafayette, Louisiana. A Georgia judge ordered Houser detained for a mental evaluation in 2008 after relatives claimed he was risky.
It would penalize states that do not comply.
Within hours of the Lafayette shooting, Amy Schumer tweeted that her “heart is broken”, adding, “all my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in Louisiana”.
I got about a million emails from friends telling me it could’ve been any movie – I’m trying to believe that, but I’m not sure.
“Before I said anything, she said to me…” Implementing these cuts within the wake of the a number of mass shootings which have occurred this yr is “the equal of a shoulder shrug to the victims”, Sen.
Chuck Schumer described the legislation and other proposals he and his cousin unveiled on Monday as a “three pronged plan” for “reasonable limits on the Second Amendment”.
Amy’s father is related to the Democratic senator from New York.
“I’ll handle it the way I’ve handled it the last 10 years”, she said. She famous that she has acquired dying threats and “plenty of hate directed towards me, however…”
In her letter, Clements wrote that she wants to shut down ideologies that contribute to the harassment of women online, as well as combat “anti-feminism and anti-women ideals, the over-idolization of firearms and fetishization of what they stand for, and the easy access to guns”.
