That is interesting. You can search Glock and get nothing, but just type "porn" and you get lots. Guess on line porn to them is cool, but guns are bayd.

Well, while they do have the right to do what they want on their own website, it is still censorship no matter how you look at it. Google is known for being extremely left leaning, so it's really no surprise.

Why is it censorship? Because you say so? Maybe McDonalds is censoring gun data because they don't sell guns...those pinko bastards....we should all boycott them immediately. Maybe we should boycott every mall in Oklahoma City because none of them have any gun stores....those heinous censors. Now if Google had actually suppressed gun and ammo data from search results, I'd be more inclined to agree that they are censoring information. Since they didn't, I'm going to have to stick to my original position that they made a conscious business decision to not sell a specific type of good in their marketplace.

This doesn't strike me as censorship at all. Any business has the right to determine what products/services they sell and you as the consumer have the right to not shop there if they don't have what you want. They aren't keeping you from finding other dealers that sell guns, they simply decided that they won't allow them to be sold in THEIR market place.


Exactly what I thought. I never use google's shopping feature any ways. You can still do a general google search and find what you are looking for.

You keep using this word "censorship" but I don't think you know what it means.
