The National Rifle Association took down its Facebook page the day of the shooting massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, USA Today and numerous other news outlets reported Monday.
The NRA Twitter feed has a thank-you note tweeted Dec. 13 to Facebook friends promoting its milestone of 1.7 million "likes," but there was no mention of the group's Facebook page in updates.
The 4.3 million-member NRA's strong pro-gun position has come into question since the shootings that left 28 people dead, including 20 children and the shooter, Adam Lanza.
