Leading gun rights advocates are now calling a boycott on Groupon after the discount site suspended its gun-related promotions.
The company made the announcement more than a month after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
Groupon said it was reviewing its policies and that deals related to shooting ranges, conceal-and-carry courses and clay shooting have been put on hold.
According to 10News sister station in Arizona, KNXV-TV, Groupon decided to halt its gun-related deals due to "consumer and merchant feedback. "
