    "I am sickened by the cowardice of these people who are supposed to lead us. "Their dedication seems to be only to dollar signs for their own pockets. In November, we will remember who stood with the gun lobby, rather than their constituents, as we mourned for

    Orlando

    ,"

    Schumer

    said.

    The

    Senate

    had rejected four new gun control proposals on Monday, a week after the mass shooting in Orlando that claimed 49 lives. Schumer became an avid gun control supporter after a man opened fire in a movie theater during a showing of her film 'Trainwreck.'

    She joined hands with her cousin, Senator

    Chuck Schumer

    , to call for stricter gun laws and universal background checks.
