Facebook announced it will temporarily ban advertisements for weapons accessories and protective gear following the Jan. 6 violence at the U.S. Capitol building and just days before Inauguration Day.

In a blog post, the Menlo Park, California-based firm said the ban will be in effect until at least Jan. 22.
