Dark comedy? Amy Schumer dresses to remember gun violence victims as Justin Long 'attends a funeral' on their NYC set

Justin looked particularly anguished when as he helped carry a casket to a waiting hearse.

Luckily, it was all for the cameras, as Amy Schumer was on hand as well for the taping of an episode of her show, Inside Amy Schumer, on Friday in New York.

In an interesting twist, the 34-year-old comedienne apparently decided to make a political statement with her outfit too.

The Trainwreck star wore a grey thigh-length dress underneath a substantial brown winter coat with fur trim for her walk to set.

Some unique black ankle boots with fleece lining and a contrasting light brown sole added a dash of style to the simple ensemble.

Her blonde tresses were tied back in a simple ponytail. 

Of course her orange beanie topped with a pom pom obviously drew all the attention, though she mostly held it in her left hand as she walked.

The hat, which was embroidered with 'Wear Orange,' is meant to raise awareness about the victims of gun violence. 

Such clothing items are usually worn to commemorate National Gun Violence Awareness Day, which takes place on June 2nd in America.

Amy is known for her pro-gun control advocacy, and even teamed up with her cousin Senator Chuck Schumer to urge congress to act on gun control legislation back in October.

As it's the depths of winter, it wasn't clear if the hat would serve as a prop for the faux funeral that was being filmed.

For the segment, Justin Long of Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story fame, wore an all black suit as he took on the roll of a pallbearer.

The 37-year-old actor solemnly carried a silver coffin with others to a waiting hearse, where he then appeared to immediately lighten up after filming, enjoying a bottle of water and a chat with a crew member.

Justin just returned from a promotional tour of Iowa in support of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.
