Trump’s new White House communications chief has voiced support for gun control – Washington Times

Newly appointed White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci has voiced support on social media for strong gun-control laws, which would be a major departure from the positions of President Trump.

After the Sandy Hook shootings at a Connecticut elementary school in December 2012, Mr. Scaramucci tweeted, I have always been for strong gun control laws.

In August 2012, he wrote on Twitter, We (the USA) has 5% of the worlds population but 50% of the worlds guns. Enough is enough. It is just common sense it apply more controls.

The gun-control group Everytown for Gun Safety, led by Trump foe Michael Bloomberg, seized on Mr. Scaramuccis past comments.

Scaramuccis comments underscore recent national polling data: Gun violence prevention is not a partisan issue, said Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. A vast majority of Americans including gun owners, NRA members and Republicans overwhelmingly support common-sense gun laws.

She added, While NRA leaders may have a seat at the table in Trumps White House, there are millions of Americans standing on the side of gun safety, possibly including the new White House Communications Director. Its time for the entire White House and current administration to join us in speaking out against gun violence and eradicate the gun lobbys guns everywhere, for anyone agenda.
