Google Tells 2nd Amendment Advocates: Get Lost

It's not every day that we direct our readers to an article from a publication for Internet professionals, but, if you are a strong advocate of the 2nd Amendment, WebProNews is reporting something that you may find truly disturbing.

Selling firearms on Google Shopping is now forbidden and 2nd Amendment advocates are up in arms. While the news is generally not known far outside of the tech community and the prohibition, at least for now, does not apply to banner ads on Google; there is legitimate cause for concern.


WebProNews reports:

(WebProNews.com) Google recently sent a letter to merchants of firearms and weapons that have listings on Google Shopping telling them that the sale of weapons will not be permitted through Google. “We do not allow the promotion or sale of weapons and any related products such as ammunitions or accessory kits on Google Shopping,” the Google Shopping Team wrote. “In order to comply with our new policies, please remove any weapon-related products from your data feed and then re-submit your feed in the Merchant Center.”

  1. Awesome blog post.The information you've been wrote is too good to us and it's deeply appreciated, many thanks.
    Firearms accessories are necessary if you intend to make your shooting escapade successful. The most important accessory that you must have is a holster in which you need to keep your fire arm safe as you move about in your shooting adventures.

  2. We are told that the attack on our Constitutional right to bear arms is for our own good. We are told that our individual rights are actually based in the 'collective' and that sometimes those rights must change 'for the greater good'. We are manipulated with the words that 'we must do something' to address gun violence if it means that even one life will be saved. We are told that no person outside of police or military should need an assault weapon (never mind the fact that they pervert what an assault weapon truly is to instill fear in the masses).
    Yet, despite all the propaganda Americans have been fed an attempt to get us to give up a little bit of our freedom due to the acts of madmen; despite the fact that cities with strict gun control bans have the most violence because criminals, by definition, do not obey the law; despite the political theater that we have been subjected to by pundits, politicians, and the supposedly unbiased news media; we now find out that, according to some of our elected officials, WE ARE NOT ALL EQUAL UNDER THE LAW.
    It is bad enough that Democrat Senator Diane Feinstein (CA) has proposed a national attack on our gun rights. Today, it has been revealed that although she wants to take your handguns, rifles and other weapons away from you, she wants to exempt all government officials from her proposed gun ban! If you needed any more evidence that in our government officials eyes we are beneath them in stature and should bow down before them in reverence, then this is it. Their message is 'guns are bad for you, but they are good for us'. Their message is 'we are entitled to protect ourselves and our families with firearms if necessary, but you cannot'.
    The message that Senator Feinstein and all who support her bill are sending is that their lives, families, and property are valuable and worth defending; yours, however, is not.
    So now Google falls into the same category and violates the 2nd Amendment by Proxy. Google --go too hell with the rest of the Liberals and stop interfering with American People's Rights---you do not belong in this game and have no right to pull a "race card" on business(s)or any one else. Go play your game with Obama and not the American people.
