Afterward, she and her cousin U.S. senator Chuck Schumer teamed up and announced a plan and a public push centered on reducing mass shootings and gun violence.

“I got a call,” she continued. “And he was like, ‘Amy, this is your cousin Chuck.’ And I said, ‘I hope this is you asking me to help with guns.’ He laughed. ‘Yeah, that’s what this is.’ I was like, ‘Let’s go. Let’s do it.'”

The senator’s plan included legislation that would create financial rewards for states that submit all appropriate paperwork to the background check system and also penalize states that didn’t. The pair also called on Congress to fully fund mental health and substance abuse programs to treat those in-need.
