Google bans gun sales on US shopping center
DailyCaller ^

Posted on 07/01/2012 5:01:05 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

Google is banning the sale of weapons and ammunition within its shopping center, causing firearms owners to second guess their use of the search giant.

The company announced on May 31 that it would be changing its product search policies for Google Shopping.

“All of the items in your feed must be in compliance with Google Shopping policies,” the company said on the site’s support center. “In particular, all items have to be family safe.”

.....

“Google now has a worse policy than ebay,” wrote The Firearm Blog, which posted the email on its blog Thursday.

The eBay policy allows the sale of “some personal defense items, such as pepper spray and mace,” BB gun ammunition, non-military issued body armor and weapons manuals.

“Shame on you Google,” said The Firearm Blog.

No results are there.

Your search - shotguns - did not match any shopping results.

I thought it was gun accessories.

Google has a store? Who knew.

I will say this, though. Guns ARE family friendly. They can be used for self defense, acquiring food, and fun. What is this family friendly nonsense they spout? What about knives, amonia, and all the other stuff that can kill accidentally, or used as a weapon?

Silly liberals.

I only use Gargoyle.com when I want to piss them off by searching for “Hussein Øbama homosexual” or “Barak Øbama illegal alien”...stuff like that ;-)

They still give results for Mosin-Nagants, Holland and Holland and Makarovs.

It seems that they are only censoring American manufactured guns.

The Google 'shopping' shotgun search is working for me.

Our Walmarts have AR15s now. Still no handguns or grenades and no claymores yet either. I wonder where those gun runners for the ATF bought all that stuff?

There’s a Cabela’s up here in Scarborough ME. Also if you come up you may want to try Kittery Trading Post right off Exit 3 off 95 when you come through. Take a look at their website to help you decide

I use Microsoft Bing for search and Microsoft for email. They’re not perfect, but their business is selling software and services, not data mining.

Do you really believe that?

Google and Facebook are tentacles of the Democrat Party.

Anyone who uses them or let’s them have your information is.... well, it’s not for me.

Depends on the servers your search goes through. They take time to update changes like this, going server by server so they don’t disrupt their entire site while updating. Try again now/a few hours and it likely won’t work.

Really?

Or joking?

I’d assume a guy who can afford his own 767 AND 757 is surrounded by gun toting security 24/7.

Make sure you add Ghostery as well.

Even FR has Google trackers.
