Second, the two called on Congress to fully fund the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and finally, they asked the Justice Department to author a report analyzing how states hold mentally ill patients in “involuntary commitment”.

“Your movie … will now forever have this shooting attached to it. You’ve been caught in the middle of our country’s terrifying, unending war with itself, our sick and twisted relationship with the gun lobby, which tells us we need guns for anyone, anywhere, anytime”.
Amy Schumer said at Monday’s press conference, “These shootings have got to stop”.
The issue of gun violence became “extremely personal” for Amy Schumer, the comedian said, on July 23.
Despite the timeliness of her plea, Schumer has vowed to continue her support of gun reform in years to come. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) appeared today at a press conference in NYC to announce a three-part legislative gun control plan.
It’s an issue that hits home for Clements, whose letter stated that her mother survived the December 2012 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut. “I wanted to do something that it was something about restrictions and protecting their families maybe it would be effective”, Schumer added of her hopes her cousin’s plan could pass. “And I was heartbroken again when I heard about LaFayette, I still am”, said Amy Schumer. 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. “After the shooting, I dedicated my life’s work to gun violence prevention, and what I noticed immediately was that women are taking the reins in the movement”. Charles Schumer, for a new public initiative tackling gun violence.
