The Firearm Blog » Google Shopping Censors All Gun, Ammo & Accessories Results

Google sent out an email to Google Adwords customers saying that they are going to pull all Google Shopping results for guns, ammunition, gun optics and gun accessories (Shopping results, not general search results)

I guess your right. Any other good search engines?
F-Google if that's how they want to be.

When does this start?

I had no trouble searching for ammo, and pistols. Plenty of clicks taking me right to the stores.

If anyone at Google gave a shit about you they wouldn't have software that reads your email and places Ads accordingly. :read:

I'd be willing to bet they are getting pressure from the Federal Govt for being a third party salesman in Firearms and Ammo... Licensing, taxes, etc...

They are a private company, if they don't want to give their users access to that, so be it. Plenty of other places to search.

I don't see a reason to complain about it though.
