Amy Schumer Support Gun Control

Amy Schumer attended a White House press conference on Tuesday to show her support for President Barack Obama's fight against gun violence.

The Trainwreck star was seen sitting in the front row of the White House's East Room as Obama publicly unveiled new executive actions designed to combat gun violence. The comedian has been a strong advocate for stricter gun control laws since a shooter opened fire at a Louisiana Trainwreck screening in July, killing two women and injuring several others before turning the gun on himself.  She's made multiple public appearances with Sen. Chuck Schumer, her cousin, in an effort to bring awareness to the subject.

Before arriving at the White House, Schumer took to Twitter to once again urge her fans to get involved in stopping gun violence. Later, she responded to a tweet from the rapper Wale, who tweeted a photo of the pair at the event. She also shared a link from an article in the Independent Journal about her attendance at the event, which states she shared the front row with Gabrielle Giffords, the former Congresswoman who survived a gunshot to the head in 2012.
