The National Rifle Association (NRA) 'downed' its main Facebook page earlier this week while one of its other social media outlet, Twitter, went silent just days after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut took place.
Only the NRA's Facebook blog page remains up and its last activity logged dates to December 14, 6:30 a.m. just hours before the massacre occurred, as reported by NBCNews.
The blog page logs posts about the associations giveaways, contests, TV shows & more and the number of likes this Facebook page has received in the last 4 days has ascended from 6,562 to the current count of 7,310.
The NRA's news website remained viewable on Tuesday night but no post or story regarding Friday's killings could be found.
The shootings that left 20 children and six adults dead carried out by 20-year-old Adam Lanza has renewed a national debate on tougher gun control/laws in the nation with many advocating and pushing for a assault weapons ban as earliest as 2013.
Is it time for tougher gun laws/control?
