It only affects shopping searches, but this new policy sucks. Time to find a new search engine. It may still work for some people as I think it's slowly propagating to all of the servers. Supposed to be in full effect July 1st.

Doing a shopping search for 9mm ammo for example now returns this

Your search - 9mm ammo - did not match any shopping results.

[proten]

I use Excite.com as they use Google, Bing & Yahoo for the results.

[poppo]

This only applies to shopping results where you may want to sort by price low to high, etc. Google used to work pretty well for that.

[Tilt]

Screw google!  Check out slickguns.com  It's a firearms related website with daily deals on guns/ammo that is updated by users.  Thanks to them, I've spend a bunch of money on stuff that I didn't even know I needed. 

[poppo]

Screw google!  Check out slickguns.com 

gun-deals.com is good too for guns and ammo. Google used to be good with it's "clean" interface. But even non-shopping results have beciome more skewed by other junk. Half the time, the top 10 search results are links to crap like ask.com or take you to sites that have nothing to do with what you were searching for.

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.
From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents,
unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control.
From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians,
unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and
from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and
others who were unable to defend themselves were
rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935.
From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents,
unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964.
From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians,
unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970.
From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians,
unable to defend themselves, were rounded
up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956.
From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people,
unable to defend themselves, were rounded up
and exterminated.

Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated
in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

You won't see this data on the US evening news,
or hear politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives
and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely
affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control,
please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.

[channelmaniac]

THIS is what a law abiding citizen can do with a CHL.

I just typed "9mm ammo" into Google's shopping tab and got 2230 results. I guess they haven't implemented it here yet.

The first couple of (default sorted) results are from Cabela's and then one from Adorama Camera, of all places.   ..Then ableammo.com and so forth.

Your search - 9mm ammo - did not match any shopping results.

When I click on the link I get a white (blank) page. The link is valid, as it also comes up in a support.google search for "ammunition," but it doesn't work from there, either.

<EDIT> Oh, nevermind, it's a Firefox thing. The page comes up in Internet Exploder.

Hmm.... I wonder if they backed down a bit. Ammo searches seem to be working again, but gun searches still don't work. Try searching for Mossberg 500 for example.

You might be right, although they haven't said anything to that effect.
"Mossberg 500" came back "banned" with a "no results" response, so the ban is in place here.

What can I say? I foretold the government's shutting down the freedom of the internet back in the late 1990's, stating that the only reason they hadn't done it was that they couldn't figure out how. Sadly, my predictions have been coming true these last few years and now businesses are jumping on the "ban" wagon (pun sadly intended) to help.

I'm not generally pro-gun, but how is this any different from some local religious group telling a school which books should be banned from its library? If guns and ammo are legal in the buyer's state, a search engine as global as Google has no business restricting commerce on the basis of the moral beliefs their senior management.

But then, no one here was naive enough to think that we really live in a free society, were they?

I dont know how you can say they are bannng gun searches
I just tried Nossberg 500 and Glock 9mm both came up with usable results

We are talking about shopping searches, not regular searches.

Do a normal google for Glock 9mm than click on the shopping button on the left or the shopping tab at the top.

Your search - Glock 9mm - did not match any shopping results.

Or just go here

[Foster]

I see what you mean, but it did not block ad results
One of them was Walmart site.

[CommTech]

So why would you bother clicking the "Shopping" button after a Web search when the web search already shows several valid store links to purchase guns? 

[brichter]

So why would you bother clicking the "Shopping" button after a Web search when the web search already shows several valid store links to purchase guns?  

Because the 11 results from the  search doesn't give you the shopping results for ammo, or even the best prices. For those results, you have to go to Bing.

Because the shopping option lets you sort by price and/or location and it only has shopping results. The regular search returns anything with the search term in it.

Hmmmm, they're both going backwards.

The way I see it the two candidates both should wear size 20 red shoes and have a round red nose.

You, sir, have a firm grip on the facts of the matter at hand.
