NRA Facebook Page Disappears After School Shooting
http://j.mp/ZdoKar (WSJ)
"The National Rifle Association, the most powerful advocate of
expanding gun rights and opposing gun control measures, has apparently
suspended its Facebook page in the wake of the elementary school
shooting in Newtown, Conn. Shortly before the Friday shooting, the
NRA had noted its Facebook page had received 1.7 million "likes" from
Facebook users. Now the page can't be found. A spokesman for the group
did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

They were probably terrified of the kinds of comments they were
getting, both pro-gun and anti-gun, in the wake of the tragedy. #gunfetishists
