Google Sadly Joins The Anti-Gun Brigade
http://www.forbes.com/sites/frankminite ... n-brigade/Specifically, they’ve banned results related to firearms and other products that they don’t deem to be “family safe.” Until recently, gun-related products appeared with other products in search results on the shopping section. Many of America’s 80 million gun owners have used Google as a powerful price-comparison tool. Not anymore.

This was quite annoying, at the time. Firearm results would pop up in Google shopping, so if you saw something for sale and you weren't quite sure of the value you could quickly Google up a swag of retail prices through the Google shopping format. Nowadays actual firearms do not show up there anymore. 'cause they're Commies.

Maybe it has something to do with the way you set your "search" button.
Family safe or let it all in?

There are other search engines.
I know Google is nice, but don't you ever get tired of the CONSTANT tracking?
Duckduckgo.com may not have same power, but they don't track...
OK

This only affected the Google "shopping" function.
Search your item's on their "web" search and you'll still be directed to a long list of sites selling your item. Google may have to appear PC, but they aren't stupid enough to alienate a market as big as ours.
