http://www.nssf.org/The National Shooting Sports Foundation, a big gun lobby group, is headquartered in Newtown, CT., and helped defeat gun control legislation there.
Their website has no mention of Friday's massacre.
It would be a shame if their "contact" form -- http://www.nssf.org/industry/contactNSSF.cfm -- were used to tell them how you feel about their activities on behalf of their "sport."
Would be a shame if their phone rang off the hook or people sent them mail, too.

NSSF Statement On Newtown Tragedy
Dec. 14, 2012
Our hearts go out to the families of the victims of this horrible tragedy in our community.
Out of respect for the families, the community and the ongoing police investigation, it would be inappropriate to comment or participate in media requests at this time.

had any relatives or friends at Sandy Hook School.
i wonder how their Monday staff meeting went.
