Interesting observation on MAIG/Everytown website

As of 9pm 10/3, Everytown's website has ZERO information, statements, or even acknowledgement of the horrific Vegas Shooting that happened 2 days ago. I even hunted around the site for some sort of statement or update.

I find that incredibly odd for the premier anti-gun lobbying group around to be AWOL.

(Everytown was formerly known as Bloomberg's MAIG - who joined up with Mom Demand Action)

Found this quickly under the news link; it is dated 10/2:

"NEW YORK – Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, a part of Everytown, released the following statement today after news reports that more than 50 people were killed and more than 400 were hospitalized after a shooting at a concert on the Las Vegas Strip. This is at least the 8th mass shooting, in which four or more people were shot and killed, nationwide this year, and the 162nd mass shooting since 2009. The shooting last night in Las Vegas is the largest mass shooting in modern American history. Everytown’s research and analysis of mass shootings is available here. "

There is more than what I post.

They may have intended to post it, but had a technical glitch that was resolved after the fact, or they may have posted it today, with a previous date in the lede.
