Antigun lobbyist returns to White House

Fresh off the defeat of Caitlin Halligan’s court nomination comes this report on another noted antigunner returning to the White House:

“The White House press shop will soon have a new edition: Jennifer Palmieri, who will be the deputy communications director.  Palmieri is a veteran of the Clinton White House, where she worked for eight years, including a stint as the deputy press secretary … she was also listed as a lobbyist in 2001 for the advocacy group Americans for Gun Safety …”

AGS was a phony front group that tried masking itself as a “moderate” antigun group more concerned with “gun safety” than “gun control.”  They folded into the far left Third Way group and have largely left public gun control activism to groups like the Bradys and CSGV.
