Amy Schumer Wants To Make It Harder For You To Get A Gun
Amy Schumer is an American stand-up comedian, writer, actress, and producer. She is the screenwriter and star of the movie “Trainwreck” and has joined her cousin, Sen. Charles Schumer, calling for increased gun control. The pair's joint appearance in New York marked the first time Amy Schumer has spoken out about gun violence since police say John Houser killed two women and then himself at a Lafayette, Louisiana, movie theater on July 23, using a gun he was able to purchase legally even though a 2008 court order sent him to a mental health facility. Federal law prohibits the purchase of guns by anyone who has been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility, but it does not ban gun purchases by someone who has volunteered for treatment or successfully argued against commitment.
 
She called for a more thorough background check system as she shared details about the lives of shooting victims Jillian Johnson, 33, and Mayci Breaux, 21. She said, "My heart goes out to Jillian and Mayci, to the survivors, to the families and everyone who was tied to the tragic, senseless and horrifying actions of this man who shouldn't have been able to put his hands on a gun in the first place, I'm not sure why this man chose my movie to end these two beautiful lives and injure nine others, but it was very personal for me. Sen. Schumer, a New York Democrat, said he is introducing legislation that will reward states for submitting all necessary records to the background check system and punish those that do not. The pair also urged Congress to provide full federal funding to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which faces a proposed 4.4 percent cut of $159 million. They also asked the Department of Justice to publish a report comparing state standards for involuntary commitment.

How About a Married With Children Spin-Off

By Midnight Man, in Television,

How About a Married With Children Spin-Off
Married With Children is an American sitcom that aired for 11 seasons. It follows the life and times of Al Bundy, who is a misanthropic women's shoe salesman with a miserable life. He hates his job, his wife is lazy, his son is dysfunctional (especially with women), and his daughter is dim-witted and promiscuous.
 
David Faustino, who played Bud on the sitcom, has said that he's developing a "spin-off" of the series. "Sony has it. They're excited about it," he said at the premiere of his TV co-star Christina Applegate's movie Vacation. "They're working on some legal issues that we hope they work out.”The whole cast is down to do little bits in it".
 
The idea would be a pilot for a spin-off series, he says, which would require some interesting scheduling with his former co-stars. His TV parents are both a bit busy with their own current series, Ed O'Neill with Modern Family and Katey Sagal with The Bastard Executioner. But they have all said that they would love to be there for David.

Bill Cosby Fights Back Against ‘Drugs & Sex’ Allegations
Bill Cosby is an American stand-up comedian, actor, author, and activist, and he is one of the world's most well-known entertainers and comedians. He has filed legal papers calling for court sanctions against a woman accusing him of sexual assault, saying she breached their confidentiality agreement in the leak of his full deposition from a 10-year-old civil case. He made the filing in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia in opposition to recent motions by Andrea Constand, a former Temple University employee who has alleged the comedian tricked her into taking drugs before he sexually assaulted her The lawsuit she brought against Cosby was settled for an undisclosed sum in 2006, and all documents from the litigation were sealed until a federal judge on July 6 released limited redacted excerpts from Cosby's 2005 deposition testimony in the case. Those excerpts included Cosby's admission under oath that he had obtained Quaaludes, the brand name for a sedative widely abused as a recreational drug in the 1970s, with the intent of giving the pills to young women in order to have sex with them.
 
On July 8, Constand filed papers in court seeking to unseal the entire deposition and her settlement agreement with Cosby, as well as to free her from any confidentiality restrictions. The New York Times has since obtained its own record of Cosby's deposition and posted additional excerpts on its website, revealing testimony in which the entertainer described how he had pursued women and how he obtained Quaaludes. His own court filing stressed that the deposition excerpts so far unsealed by the judge contain no testimony that he engaged in any non-consensual sex or gave anyone Quaaludes without their knowledge or consent. The memorandum goes on to call Constand's request to open the entire Cosby settlement to public scrutiny an "obvious attempt to smear" the performer and says she should be sanctioned for leaking the nearly 1,000-page deposition transcript to the New York Times through her "own hired court reporter."
 
More than 40 women have come forward in the past year alleging Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted them in incidents dating back decades. He faces at least four civil lawsuits stemming from such allegations. Cosby has never been criminally charged. His attorneys have consistently denied the accusations, which have left in tatters the career and public image of a once-revered entertainer best known for playing the lovable father figure Dr. Cliff Huxtable on the hit TV comedy series "The Cosby Show" in the 1980s and '90s. He has said little in public about the scandal, telling ABC television in May that he did not wish to discuss allegations.
