Amy Schumer, Senator Charles Schumer push gun control

Comedian Amy Schumer has delivered an emotional address calling for tighter gun controls in America after the fatal shooting of two women at a cinema screening her latest movie.

Chuck Schumer, in a renewed effort to reduce gun violence. 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.

When asked how she would handle it, Schumer said that she’ll deal with it the same way that she has been dealing with “a lot of hate” online for the last 10 years.

As for demanding change, Schumer added, “Don’t worry I’m on it. You’ll see”.

“The critics scoff and say, ‘Properly, there isn’t any solution to cease loopy individuals from doing loopy issues, ‘ however they’re improper”, Amy Schumer added.
