Scaramucci has tweeted multiple times about increasing gun control in the U.S. In August 2012, he tweeted, and has since deleted, "We (the USA) has 5% of the world's population but 50% of the world's guns. Enough is enough. It is just common sense it apply more controls(.)"
On July 8, 2015, he tweeted, “Daily liquidity in alts = keeping a gun in home. Illusion of security, but more likely to cause you harm.†That tweet was deleted but it has been archived on the Trump Twitter Archive. The Wayback Machine did not archive this tweet.
In that tweet, he also linked to an article he wrote about daily liquidity and alternative investments that begins with the line, “Daily liquidity in alternative investments is like keeping a gun in your home – it might provide the illusion of security but statistics show it’s more likely to cause you harm.â€
Trump is a strong supporter of gun rights -- in Atlanta in April, he told National Rifle Association members that he “will never, ever infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.â€
In December 2015, Scaramucci tweeted (and has since deleted) a photo of the Berlin Wall preserved in the Newseum in Washington and wrote, “Walls don't work. Never have never will. The Berlin Wall 1961-1989 don't fall for it.â€
Building a “big, beautiful wall†along the United States-Mexico border was one of Trump’s key campaign promises.

Scaramucci once had some not-so-nice things to say about Trump
Scaramucci has also in the past voiced his feelings on climate change.
In February 2016, he retweeted an Associated Press article titled, "The heat goes on: Earth sets 9th straight monthly record." In his tweet, he wrote, "(D)on't stand on the wrong side of history #climatechange". Then, in March 2016, he tweeted, “You can take steps to combat climate change without crippling the economy. The fact many people still believe CC is a hoax is disheartening.†That tweet has now been deleted.
Most recently, in December, he tweeted, “No matter your view on climate science, we can take common sense steps that spur econ growth & US energy security w/out harming environment.†This tweet has not been deleted.
I've never understood the big hangup people have with politicians changing positions. People change minds. I'd be more worried about a politician who never changes her views.
And this guy...his job is not to sell us his judgment. It's to tell the world what the white house is doing and thinking. Do I care what his personal view on guns is? No.
