I'm certainly not defending Google but I searched for "AR-15 parts" and got 1.6 million results. Tops were Primary Arms, PSA, CTD, Brownell's, Midway...pretty much what I'd expect to get.

I pulled up a lot of results when I searched AR-15 parts as well.Quote:

Notice it's under the "shopping" filter. That is a screenshot I personally took from Google, not some viral picture.
Yes, that stuff comes up under normal searches, but they are filtering the stuff from the "shopping" catagory.
Yup, did the same thing.Quote:

I searched for "rifle bag" using Google and I received all kinds of results.
Never shop there because their prices are ridiculous, but here’s another reason to avoid this company and any organization they’re involved with. Dick’s Sporting Goods

You guys must all still be waking up. They are filtering results from the "shopping" catagory as is shown in my screenshot.Quote:

I use DuckDuckGo, didn't even know google had a shopping tab.
When I'm shopping I usually go straight to my preferred vendors.
Yeah, Fuck Dick's...Quote:

I never knew about the Google Shopping tab. Never needed it. I just put in what I'm looking for and add the word "sale".
OK...never use the "Shopping" tab.
Ummm... Didn't they stop selling evil black rifles after "Sandy Hook"?Quote:

Disgusting, but I'm not at all surprised from those jag offs at Dick's having a #metoo moment.
The problem with denying 18-20 year olds long guns is that they're being denied their 2A rights. Why do people love children and then make them victims from age 18-20 as many of them start to make their own way in life?
I think it was a way to filter results, maybe?Quote:

Huawei is a company with direct ties to the Chinese government and some people recommend against buying their products as a security risk, or so I've read in my tech news feed. Google doesn't care though.Quote:

In a world of instant gratification and ultimate convenience, you get a "Shopping" tab.Quote:

Funny article on the Google "gun" ban:
http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/go...rticle/2650230
Quote:
In the wake of the Florida school shooting, Google decided to take a stand. The gatekeeper of the Internet decided to filter shopping searches that included the term “gun.” It didn't go so well.
Early Tuesday morning, Internet shoppers started noticing and documenting the digital gaffes. Users received error notices when they searched for glue guns and water guns, toy guns and airsoft guns, nail guns and nerf guns. The algorithm is apparently so strict that even the color "burgundy" triggered an error because it includes "gun" in the spelling.
This set off something of a parlor game on social media. Turns out, adults don’t like it when faceless bureaucrats try enforcing arbitrary restrictions — federal, corporate, or otherwise.
Casey “Stable Genius” Smith found that Google now censors “Laguna Beach."
That reminds me of years ago when my company had a filter on our email. I kept getting blocked by the Japanese company named "Matsushita", now known as Panasonic.Quote:

Piss on Google.

Something else I noticed about Google search today.
If I put an "&" in the search field, such as "S&W 625," Google cuts off everything after the "&" in the search results.
Just wonder if it is related to their recent search results hack job. It did not do this before today.
If you're going to engage in economic pushback -- and I support efforts to do so -- make sure you tell the respective companies what you're doing and why. It's too easy for them to ascribe any lost traffic to other means. I can generally fly American instead of Delta or United (it's more inconvenient but I can do it) but a lot of the airports only have the 3 or 4 main rental car companies (note: Avis and Budget are linked as are Enterprise and National).
My feedback to United and Delta is that their actions are NOT neutral as they are claiming but are in actively siding with the regressive Stalinists who seek to destroy American traditions and culture with a foundation of lies and distortions.
Interesting thing pointed out about the Dicks decision...if they refuse to sell firearms to people 18-20 (where such sales would be legal), but do sell to people 21+, that's actually age discrimination, which is illegal in many states (not CO, apparently).
Good point.Quote:

I am not a member of the NRA, but I am disgusted by your calculated corporate cowardice. Whatever the NRA and/or it's membership may be guilty of, they certainly aren't the ones to engage in criminal acts in Parkland, nor to my knowledge has an NRA member been the perpetrator of any school shooting. You have signaled a clear willingness to take sides in a divisive social issue and publically stigmatize a large group of people. I don't believe my opinion matters to you, but I am certain my dollars do. I will be thinking very carefully about how I choose to spend those dollars when next I rent a vehicle.
I don't shop at Dick's anyway so I can't "affect" their bottom line. However, I did contact and them (and the other entities that are distancing themselves from the NRA) by email stating that I could no longer in good faith support any company that disregards the constitutional rights of the individual for political reasons.
Goddammit, I'm about a year in with Simplisafe and really like it....

Should just name your entry point devices "Gun Room", "NRA Members-Only Guest Room", etc.
Add Walmart to the list. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/walma...234152551.html
I think it's just a matter of time before someone 18-20 files suit as to being denied their rights protected by the 2A.
The kind of 18-20 year-old with the kind of money to file suit probably isn't buying guns.Quote:
