They took their page down because of too many negative comments from people regarding the Sandy Hook shooting, or at least that's what news articles are saying.

https://twitter.com/NRA/status/279595831961722880 Their latest tweet. The responses were the typical anti gun people responses.
I understand that but instead of making a statement or moderating comments, they just black out their social networking accounts? Seems odd that other 2A groups would still have their pages up and allowing comments from both sides.
Meh, it just gives the libtards one less outlet to use to ***** and moan how evil guns walk around killing everyone and everything. As I see it, the NRA is just letting things blow over. FB is comprised heavily of younger people who often tend to live in mom's basement and follow any liberal idea that crosses in front of them (hello, OWS).
Once the immediate reaction to the school shootings die down then they'll be back in action. Remember, too, that smaller 2A groups are NOT targets for liberals and the media, unlike the NRA which is often treated as the only 2A group in America.

I was noticing this today myself. Pretty f***ing cowardly if you ask me. The voice of millions of people who are members and they got intimidated? No statements about anything, either? Just absolute silence?

I may not know what I am talking about. Her it goes. Since the shooting on Friday morning took place, I have heard information as well as plenty of misinformation. No need for everybody to react at once. I would think now is a bad time to convince folks guns is not the evil villain.

I had to Google Sandy Hook to see what it was. All of this misinformation and wasted space and I never heard Sandy Hook until now.

This is such a PR tsunami that they are probably just waiting for more information to come out before they respond. Remember they got some bad press after the theatre shooting because of a misguided Tweet (poster did not know about the shooting yet). It could be out of respect for the victims that they didn't want to blast out any pro-gun statements when emotions were so high. They'll be back... furious as ever once everyone gets this figured out.

You dont see the American Automobile Association making statements anything a few people are killed in a car accident.
AAA and the NRA are just a smidge different.

They have been vilified by the Left leaning media who is on a feeding frenzy at this time. It's best to pick your battles when outnumbered as they(we) are.
The gun grabbers are blaming the NRA for the dead children. Most of them have never heard of any of the other groups. They are organizing attacks on the NRA to try to silence them. Maybe you NRA haters should join the protesters.

We need to get the conversation moved back where it belongs, and not on gun ownership by law abiding citizens. We are not the perpetrators of these shootings, yet that's the narrative when we let the anti gun lobby control the conversation.
The NRA's silence is understandable, but is a mistake, IMHO. They should be trying to get the conversation focused back on why these young people wanted to kill in mass.

They were also asked to come on FNC for commentary but declined. However, with that being said, I think they are going for the "lets respect the families of this tragedy and let the police investigate before we comment and stick our foot in our mouth" which I completely agree with. When I got home from work last night and turned on Diane Sawyer, there was 20 minutes of gun control talk and less than 2 minutes of mental health discussion. **** them for turning this tragedy into political bs. When the dust settles, the NRA will be well prepared and I respect them for letting this air out a bit.
I think it is wise to see what evidense is released by the police as to method, means and motive before making any open end comments about the incident when the facts have not yet been revealed. Those knee jerk reactions are the ones that often allow our mouths to open wide enough for our foot to enter. The NRA has weathered many storms before Newtown and will likely weather many more after, I have trust in the organization, they have fought in the trenches on my behalf in the past and I believe they will fight for my rights in the future, they just need to see what they are up against. My $.02 for whats that worth.
