According to Natural News, a natural health and living site, their Facebook account was suspended earlier today as a result of posting a quote from Mohandas Gandhi which is decidedly pro-civilian gun ownership.
"The reports are absolutely true. Facebook suspended the Natural News account earlier today after we posted an historical quote from Mohandas Gandhi. The quote reads:
"Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest." - Mohandas Gandhi, an Autobiography, page 446.
This historical quote was apparently too much for Facebook's censors to bear. They suspended our account and gave us a "final warning" that one more violation of their so-called "community guidelines" would result in our account being permanently deactivated."
The Facebook account has since been reinstated, http://www.facebook.com/NaturalNews but the quote is no longer there.
