    Default Google blocks firearms/accessories/ammo

    This is crazy, the biggest search engine on the web now blocking all firearms, accessories, and ammo from the google shopping system.

    This is crazy, I can't imagine how bad this is going to hurt online retailers.

    Been that way for a long time just kinda behind the scenes. For example under AdSense rules you could not display AdSense ads on any page relating to Guns, Firearms or Munitions.

    I have never had a problem searching firearm info on Google. Although I use Google less and less because of all the useless links that come up on top.

    With all the other idiocy, on the web, they pick firearms to censor?
