Apparently the GOP are afraid. Wonder why? The NRA is running for cover too.
From Think Progress:
The Sunday morning news shows were dominated by discussion of what can be done after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, which claimed 28 lives on Friday. Several strong gun control advocates, including Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) appeared on the morning shows to push for tighter restrictions and a new assault weapons ban. Their counterparts on the pro-gun side of the aisle, however, categorically refused to appear on MSNBC’s ‘Meet the Press’ to discuss the shooting.

BTW, we reached out to ALL 31 pro-gun rights Sens in the new Congress to invite them to share their views on @meetthepress - NO takers.
The National Rifle Association canceled a country music event this weekend but has yet to release any statement after the school massacre.
It also appears the NRA has taken down their facebook page, ceased answering their phones, and is generally running away, and hiding.
