(30 June) - A legal notice filed by the National Rifle
Association over a parody website has apparently caused
roughly 38,000 websites to get knocked offline. As reported
by Motherboard, the NRA issued a takedown request in response
to a fictitious NRA website promising to deliver "life-saving
firearms" into "poor urban centers."
