MLB Star Teaches Sons About Guns In Case Sanders And Socialism Win. Celebs Rip Him. He Hammers Them.

This week, former MLB baseball star Aubrey Huff triggered outrage on social media after he tweeted a picture from a gun range, adding he was training his sons to shoot in the “unlikely event @Bernie Sanders beats @realDonald Trump in 2020. In which case knowing how to effectively use a gun under socialism will be a must.” That elicited hostile responses from comedienne Kathy Griffin and actor Tom Arnold, both off which received blunt responses from Huff, as The Daily Mail reported.

Huff, who played 13 seasons in major league baseball and slugged 242 home runs, was six years old when his father, an electrician, was murdered as he tried to break up a fight between a man and his girlfriend. He recalled to MLive in 2009, “My dad was an electrician and he was on a call in Abilene. I’m told he came in and heard a racket. He walked over to the people and asked, ‘Is there a problem?’ The man arguing with his girlfriend said, ‘It’s none of your business.’ And then, he shot my dad and his girlfriend. And today, he’s serving life in prison. My mom told me and my sister that her whole life was going to revolve around us. She did everything for us she could. And to keep me out of trouble, Mom bought me a batting cage.”
