Infowars sources suspect the accounts were flagged for militia/gun nut activity, and being gun nuts they should know:
Facebook Purges Pro-Gun Accounts
Massive act of censorship sees alternative media pages disappeared

Facebook is purging accounts that carry pro-second
amendment and pro-liberty information in a censorship purge that has
accelerated over the past few hours, with innumerable pages being
disappeared merely for posting legitimate political content.
NaturalNews.com’s Mike Adams contacted us to alert us to
the fact that “Facebook banned our account for posting this,” with an
attached image of a Gandhi quote about how the British disarmed the
citizenry during their rule in India.
The following is a list of Facebook accounts operated by
individuals in the alternative media that have been shut down by
Facebook staff over the past 24 hours. Infowars writer Aaron Dykes and
political dissident Brandon J. Raub have also had their accounts
deleted. Raub was snatched by police and forcibly imprisoned in a psychiatric ward earlier this year for posting political content on Facebook. Infowars editor Kurt Nimmo also had his account suspended this morning.

It is important to stress that most of these accounts
have not simply been temporarily suspended, they have been shut down
completely. Some are now being reinstated after complaints. Accounts
that have been suspended can still be seen but posting rights have been
revoked.
A 24 hour suspension was also placed on the Alex Jones
Facebook account due to an image that another user had posted in which
Alex Jones was tagged.
One of the messages being received by users having their
accounts suspended is displayed below. In most cases, users are not
even being informed of why their page was suspended or deleted, with
Facebook merely referring them to the company’s guidelines.
Last week, we reported on how Facebook was suspending user accounts that questioned the official narrative behind the Sandy Hook school massacre.
As we have previously highlighted,
Facebook occasionally deletes images and posts that it claims violate
“Facebook’s Statement of Rights and Responsibilities,” yet constitute
little more than political conjecture or a healthy skepticism of
official narratives on current events.
In September 2011, Infowars reporter Darrin McBreen was told by Facebook staff not to voice his political opinion on the social networking website.Responding to comments McBreen had made about off-grid preppers being treated as criminals, the “Facebook Team” wrote, “Be careful making about making political statements on facebook,” adding, “Facebook is about building relationships not a platform for your political viewpoint. Don’t antagonize your base. Be careful and congnizat (sic) of what you are preaching.”
