(CNN) Following news of a mass shooting at a Florida high school, the National Rifle Association removed its retweet of a post that encouraged people to buy guns as gifts on Valentine's Day. The tweet, which was posted by Yonkers, NY-based Kimber Manufacturing, a firearms manufacturer and distributor, has also since been removed. However, screenshots of the image -- of a red heart-shaped box with two guns on it -- have circulated the platform. "Give your significant other something they'll appreciate this Valentine's Day #kimber," the tweet read. pic.twitter.com/cC4A835n0a — igorvolsky (@igorvolsky) February 14, 2018The tweet can also be seen in an archived version of the NRA's Twitter account.
