Comedian Amy Schumer has scolded journalist who used, what she deemed, the wrong language when talking about her skit on gun control.
Schumer, the cousin of NY Sen. Chuck Schumer, did a home shopping show skit on her “Inside Amy Schumer” show on Comedy Central where she made it look ridiculously easy to purchase a firearm.
Journalists had apparently called it a “gun control” skit, but the comedian was quick to set them straight on Twitter.
Hey journalists thanks for all the heat from last nights #endgunviolence message. Please use the term “gun safety” instead of “gun control”

we’re not interested in controlling law abiding citizens’ guns – just keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous people #gunsafety

Gun safety. It’s like gun control but with nicer language so you don’t realize what they are doing.
And who better to get your advice on “gun safety” from than a comedian?
Either Schumer intentionally misled her audience into believing obtaining a gun was as easy as she portrayed in this skit or she is severely misinformed.
Many on social media saw the propaganda for what it was.

@JaneyGodley @amyschumer When you know NOTHING about guns, you can’t advocate safety. Learn the topic, not just trying to take guns away.

@amyschumer Lie! @MomsDemand #gunsense is for bans on legal guns & magazines. Restricting ownership w/o #DueProcess. NO #gunsafety training

Or you could just be honest and call it what it is: anti-gun. https://t.co/xvQXDudfhm

More laws controlling gun manufacturing/transactions/ownership ≠ control?
