Amy Schumer said that she’s always been in favor of smarter gun laws but that the shootings that killed two people at a Louisiana theater showing her latest film last month had made the issue “extremely personal.”
NEW YORK — Comedian Amy Schumer spoke tearfully of two women who were shot to death during a screening of her movie, “Trainwreck,” and asked lawmakers Monday to support a gun-control bill sponsored by her second cousin, U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer.
“I’ve thought about these victims each day since the tragedy,” she said at a news conference at the senator’s office in New York.
