“The National Rifle Association on Wednesday afternoon promoted a Twitter posting to purchase guns for their significant other on Valentine’s Day. The official NRA Twitter account retweeted the post from gun manufacturer Kimber Firearms that featured a picture of two handguns on a red heart-shaped box.
Kimber Firearms, a Yonkers, New York-based gun manufacturing company, later deleted the Twitter posting. The tweet had existed during the breaking news of a Florida high school shooting that has claimed at least 14 victims.
Gun control advocates frequently point to the NRA’s political advocacy and promotion of gun culture as factors for the high rate of gun violence in the U.S. There were 1,260 gun deaths and 2,308 gun injuries in January in the U.S., according to figures compiled by Gun Violence Archive.”
