Google Bans Firearm, Ammo, and Related Sales

Spats McGee,

Thanks for that--I've never really been a Microsoft guy but I will give this a shot (currently experiencing google-gun-shop-search withdrawal that's worse than drugs :eek:).

-Cheers
 
I normally hate Bing...but this might be an exception.
No more Google Shopping for me. (Make sure to tell them why, if you do the same.)

Absolutely--If the anti-Constitution business' do not receive critical feedback concerning why customers are ceasing to use their respective products, they will never truly 'appreciate' the adverse ramifications of their warped policies.

Last week I informed my Sprint Rep why I would not be renewing my Google Android contract come Labor Day when it expires--It will be quite painful and I am researching my alternatives as we speak (it will be tough as they are all leftist companies at the very core including Apple which is the logical alternative to Android). Not to veer OT (it's very related in the sense that boycotts of anti-2A companies is definitely firearms related) but I am considering a nice 'no-contract' wireless tablet in conjunction with a basic cell phone...

-Cheers
 
Just like walmart removing guns a decade and a half ago, this has more to do with legal trouble than with being anti-gun.
Firearms are highly regulated.
anti-gun groups are always trying to saddle someone with liability to bankrupt them.
If you are running a broad business it isn't worth the firearms liability.
 
I think its a outrage that they are banning all firearm related sales through there shopping page. Another company jumping on the anti gun band wagon:mad:

Not categorical--rural Walmart's are stocked up like Cabela's whereas @ urban Walmart's you're lucky to find a 'fish-hook.'

boostedtt91,

forgive me as I am too ****** to use google and too lazy to actually perform a search, but is Danville PA a rural area? Just curious as in Urban MO. an AR @ walmart would be cause for a SWAT Team mobilization.

-Cheers
 
its not near any major city or anything. Pretty much all walmarts within a 30 mile radius sell them as far as i am aware. Danville is about a hour north of harrisburg
 
When it comes to gun stuff, our local Wal-Mart (Norfolk, Virginia) only has ammo. No guns of any type, no targets, no cleaning supplies. There are some cheap scopes and I think they have ear/eye protection, but that's it.
 
Wal-Mart's decision seems to be based on the economics of stocking the local area. Some of the ones near me only have ammo. The other that I visited today had a rack with about 5 different ARs and quite a few defensive shotguns.

So unless you can come up with documentation, drop the liberal conspiracies. :rolleyes:
 
There are several WalMart locations near me. One is in an urban area, and they don't stock firearms or handgun ammunition. Another is in a fairly rural area and stocks quite a bit.

I don't think it's a matter of caving in to anything politically; it's just a business decision. Not everything is a grand conspiracy.

why would an AR at Walmart cause a SWAT Team mobilization?

An AR15 is not an illegal rifle, and Walmart is a licensed FFL I'm sure. Unless state laws vary wherever you are.

In my local SuperWalmart I have seen Bushmaster's, Sig's, DPMS, and a few other AR brands. and I live in a rather populated city in Central FL.
 
It's not a rumor. I tried it. No shopping results for all the types of guns I could quickly think of. But you Change One number and you get tons of stuff.

As for Walmart not having guns, the Walmart super computer decides what each store stocks based on the likelihood of sales or other reasons.

If you haven't seen guns at Walmart, you really need to get out more lol
 
Someone suggested Bing and while it's not what Google (Eric Schmidt swears they're not 'Evil') used to offer, it's not too bad.

Edited to add: I assume it's only a 'matter of time' until Microsoft follows suit...?

-Cheers

Huh?

What are you guys all talking about?
I just ran a series of searches using all of the so-called prohibited terms, including Springfield Armory 1911. I got hits on every one of them.

darkgael,

Are you referring to Google vanilla search or Google Shopping? If shopping, you might try emptying your browser's cache as your search resulted in zero hits for me...:confused:?

Edited to add: Unless they have to 'flush-out' this capability across the globe to all of their respective servers until complete synchronization is achieved?

-Cheers
