Here's one person I'll never watch anymore.

This is not new news, she tweets anti-gun rhetoric.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

Who?

 

[17 squirrel]

Who?

This is not new news, she tweets anti-gun rhetoric.

Exactly " Who " and what is a " Tweet " ????

 

[Bennettjh]

I'm gathering that she's an actress/comedian. Not surprised she's anti-gun after finding out who her cousin is and that she's a Hollywood type.

 

[Mgderf]

Exactly " Who " and what is a " Tweet " ????

I think she's a "twit", could also be a tweet, but I can't confirm this since I don't know what a tweet is either.
Most assuredly a twit though...

 

[IndyDave1776]

Being named 'Schumer' should at least warrant preemptive close scrutiny!

 

[atvdave]

It's news to me, and yes... she is a comedian.

 

[jerrob]

I can't stand to listen to her long enough to hear any of her opinions. I know she's a comedian and I know she's not funny.

 

[Bfish]

I actually kind of liked her... Sad deal... No longer going to support her.

 

[chezuki]

Disappointed. She's a quite funny comedian, who's known for some off the wall very non-PC cringe humor. It's sad to see someone who so embraces the 1st, attacking the 2nd.

This. I'm sorry, but I found her extremely annoying before this.

 

[bradmedic04]

Wasn't the theatre that got shot up playing her latest movie? It's a damn shame there wasn't somebody with some sort of implement there who could have possibly intervened and kept the patrons safe. And yes, of course I'm talking about more prominent no-gun signs that the shooter might have noticed and which may have swayed him to go home instead, lest he be prosecuted.

I just wish a lot of people would shut up.

 

[24Carat]

I was actually of the mind at one time that I wanted to ravage her. After considerable thought and consideration now . . . . . . I still want to. Go figure !?

 

[oldpink]

Never found her very funny anyway, and never will.

 

[atvdave]

Disappointed. She's a quite funny comedian, who's known for some off the wall very non-PC cringe humor. It's sad to see someone who so embraces the 1st, attacking the 2nd.

Very true.....

 

[cobber]

No idea who this person is. My default position is any celebrity is an addle-pated moron, until they prove otherwise.

I am not often forced to make a reassessment.

 

[OakRiver]

""These are not extreme ideas," Amy Schumer said. "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.""

With such ease? If he lied on the form, that's a felony. If the store knowingly provided a firearm to an ineligible person that's a felony. If the NCIS came back clear then that is a serious issue as there were 4 reasons to prohibit him from owing a firearm.

So what laws does she think will be needed this time? What was the failing of the current law?

 

[avboiler11]

On the surface, I think the bill proposed by her cousin Chuckie makes a lot of sense - both Charleston & Lafayette shooters should have never been able to pass NICS checks, but they did. Obviously, the system has holes that need repaired.

A new law compelling states to send data on involuntary committees, domestic abusers, etc. into the NICS system will strengthen the system already in place.

A pragmatic person knows that while a "background check" won't stop someone dedicated to doing bad from getting a gun, it should be able to stop those who are prohibited persons from getting one through a FFL and it didn't in those two cases because the data put into the system was incomplete. NICS isn't going anywhere, so let's bolster the system so that it can work as intended.

OBVIOUSLY the devil is always in the details (I'm principally concerned about false domestic abuse accusations & the rights of those who are accused), and people who provide false statements on 4473s or are otherwise prohibited NEED to be quickly investigated and prosecuted by law enforcement...but I really don't have a problem with making the existing system stronger.

As for Amy Schumer...she's a hilarious comedian who like everybody on INGO and elsewhere is entitled to her opinions...but not entitled to her own set of facts.

We'll have to agree to disagree. Nothing that 'fine gentleman' says makes sense. He has no intention of stopping with 'reasonable background checks', but is just dying to get his foot in the door on the way to confiscation. Sure, keep 'improving' the system until it excludes the people HE doesn't want having guns. But you can't polish a . Not very well at least...


Nothing good is coming out of NYS these days...
