As is their practice in the wake of a mass shooting, the National Rifle Association’s social media accounts have gone dark. Since the horrific shooting in Las Vegas, Nevada that left 59 people dead and over 500 injured, there has been nothing from @NRA or associated accounts like @NRATV, @NRAblog, and @NRAILA.
The most recent tweet from any NRA-affliated Twitter account appears to be from @AmericanHunter, the “official journal of the National Rifle Association, for hunters and shooters,” posted just hours before the shooting.
The FN SCAR 17S is a slightly modified version of the rifle currently used by U.S. Special Operations Command, the FN MK 17.

Draper traveled to the test range of the manufacturer, FN, where he spoke to Jay Recto, the “assault weapons manager.” After being taken through some of the rifle’s features by Recto, a giddy Draper declares: “Literally, this is the same rifle that the military gets without the full auto happy switch. That’s fantastic!”
