“Getting my boys trained up on how to use a gun in the unlikely event @BernieSanders beats @realDonaldTrump in 2020,” Huff wrote.

“In which case knowing how to effectively use a gun under socialism will be a must. By the way most the head shots were theirs,” he added, tagging the National Rifle Association in the tweet.

Huff played in the MLB for 13 seasons and was part of the 2010 and 2012 San Francisco Giants teams that won the World Series. He has been an outspoken supporter of Trump through his Twitter account in recent years and was wearing a red, white and blue “45” shirt promoting a second term for Trump in the tweet.

Several prominent celebrities blasted Huff on Twitter for the remarks.

Are you warning your kids to never call the fire department or police because that’s too socialist too? Or that they should never to go to Europe because they have health care for all people? Because the US is far more dangerous. — Patricia Arquette (@PattyArquette) November 27, 2019

Huff’s post comes as several 2020 Democrats, including Sanders, have called for gun reform legislation to be implemented following the recent spate of mass shootings across the country.
