Groupon has suspended all of its gun-related promotions, a move that has led gun-rights advocates to call for a boycott of the daily deals site.
"All scheduled and current gun-related deals featured on Groupon North America, including shooting ranges, conceal-and-carry and clay shooting, have been placed on hiatus while we review internal standards that shape the deal inventory we feature," Groupon spokeswoman Julie Mossler said in an e-mailed statement to AOL Daily Finance. "The category is under review following recent consumer and merchant feedback."
Although the move is presumably in reaction to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., it's unclear why Groupon waited more than a month to decide a review was necessary.
CNET has contacted Groupon for additional comment and will update this report when we learn more.
