Liberal gun grabbers never stop, and, all of a sudden, Amy Schumer is Concerned
(GMA) Comedian Amy Schumer is joining forces with her cousin, Sen. Chuck Schumer, to push for new gun control legislation on Capitol Hill.
The “Trainwreck” star appeared with the New York senator this morning at a news conference with a sign saying “Enough Is Enough” by their side.
“Amy may have started out as a comedian but this subject is really serious,” the senator said, adding, “I have a lot of press conferences but I almost never get this many people.”
For Amy Schumer, the subject of gun violence and mass shootings became “extremely personal” last month, when John Russell Houser opened fire in a movie theater in Lafayette during a screening of her film “Trainwreck,” killing two people and injuring nine others.
Her only link was that this occurred during a screening of her movie, which was random. I wonder how she and Chuck would respond to legislation requiring government to check and see if any Muslim applicant has links to hardcore Islam?
She called the three-pronged plan Sen. Schumer is putting forward in Congress “sensible measures.”
The senator wants to compel states to share information about felons, spousal abusers and the adjudicated mentally ill with the federal government for the national background check system; to survey all 50 states on their standards for involuntary commitment for the mentally ill and put forward national best practices; and to get Congress to fully fund mental health and substance abuse programs.
“No one wants to live in a country where a felon, the mentally ill or other dangerous people can get their hands on a gun with such ease,” his star cousin said.
These are all generally White People problems. In the ghettos in primarily Democratic Party run cities, most of those guns are not legally purchased, and Blacks are shooting and killing other Blacks in huge numbers, even record numbers (see Baltimore). Why is there so little concern from Liberals over Blacks shooting Blacks? Most of the big news events surrounding shootings tend to occur where White People gather, and the shooters are either White or Islamists (though, the link to radical Islam is usually downplayed). The news, run mostly by White Liberals, tends to mostly ignore the huge gun crime problem in Black urban areas that Democrats run.
Why are White Liberals not concerned about Blacks shooting Blacks? Why don’t they have a plan that will reduce what is termed “Black in origin” crime?
Interestingly, Democrats have worked hard to make it harder for citizens to obtain handguns, which would protect them from felons, adjudicated mentally ill people, and spousal abusers.
Our esteemed host asked:
Because if they do show such concern, then they can’t:
1 – Blame some white guy; and
2 – Why, even questioning anything about the inner-city black culture is raaaaacist!
Please make a note of it.

The guns are out of control….. We must control them. Look at the guns as they circle an old lady just trying to cross the street! Who will stop these out of control guns?
I didn’t know inanimate objects could cause so much fear? I think these people are delusional really.
Why don’t they look at the source of the problem rather than at inanimate objects?
Almost all mass shootings are done by people who are on physcotropic drugs. Meaning, the more our doctors become drug dealers rather than healers, the more deranged our society becomes. Big PHARMA makes a killing off these people and then these people do some killing of their own.
How about we start some big PHARMA control instead…. Those pill pushers are the real people who are out of control, not some inanimate object.
Re: “Why are White Liberals not concerned about Blacks shooting Blacks?”
Because that isn’t politically useful to them. If anything, it would highlight the on going failure of democrat policies and governance.
LOL, it’s not hard to imagine what Amy Schumer’s comments would be if the shooting had taken place during a screening of American Sniper.
I know I am going against the grain here, but I don’t see an issue with this proposal at all.
The NICS is somewhat of a disaster because data that disqualifies people from gun ownership is not transmitted or not transmitted in a timely manner.
Conservatives and the pro-2nd Amendment people talk all the time about not adding new laws to restrict gun ownership but rather enforcing the laws on the books.
I see this proposal as a step in that direction.
I would also like to see a way of private owners checking the NICS database before a private sale without going through a dealer. That way responsible gun owners could ensure their guns are not ending up in the hands of those who should not have them.
