Good Luck.
America's National Rifle Association (NRA) is still staying silent on mass shooting at elementary school in Connecticut, USA in which 27 people died, including 20 children aged six and seven. Two days after massacre, USA's powerful pro-gun organisation has yet to make any kind of statement on tragedy that has shaken America. mass murder of 20 innocent children by gunman seems to have stunned NRA into silence. "Huffington Post" writes about NRA's disappearance from social media sites since tragedy, saying: " NRA has disappeared from both Twitter and Facebook since events that occurred on Friday."

NRA announced on Facebook day before the killings that it had accumulated 1.7 million fans. organization's Facebook page has now completely vanished. Clicking on link in Google search sends you to your own timeline. Many Americans are now questioning more than ever whether owning gun should be right. Stories of multiple shootings are regular part of American news, to extent that many no longer get headline. In other countries, such tragedies prompt national soul searching. President Obama has promised to take "meaningful action" on gun control, although he has yet to expand on what that means. Americans now expect battle on future of gun ownership and right to bear arms.
