Fresh off the defeat of Caitlin Halligan’s court nomination<\/a> comes this report<\/a> on another noted antigunner returning to the White House<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“The White House press shop will soon have a new edition: Jennifer Palmieri<\/a>, who will be the deputy communications director. \u00a0Palmieri 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<\/a><\/strong> …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

AGS<\/a> was a phony front group<\/a> that tried masking itself as a “moderate” antigun group more concerned with “gun safety” than “gun control.” \u00a0They folded into the far left Third Way<\/a> group and have largely left public gun control activism to groups like the Bradys<\/a> and CSGV<\/a>.<\/p>\n
