Never have and never will use google shopping, Google search results will still get the job done.

Meh, I prefer patronizing local gun stores for my shopping purposes. When they don't have what I want, I'll have them order it or I'll go on one of a few websites I have accounts with and order some stuff. Brown Ells and DoubleTap Ammo are two of my most common sources outside of local gun stores.

It was still nice to punch in Winchester White box ammo and have 100 vendors come up with current prices. I found LOTS of great deals over the net using for that last several years.

Bing is a good alternative.

The regular search is still active for Guns and ammo. It is specifically the shopping search function that has been filtered to remove guns, ammo and the like.

I've bought ammo from LuckyGunner.com a few times. Good prices and quick shipping. For guns, I either shop local (usually) or buy from one of the auction sites. If you're getting something fairly common, though, after shipping, you don't really save much that way.

I have saved thousands scouring the internet for deals on guns and ammo even after shipping which is nominal if you do it right. Many times I work the deal so the shipping gets paid for by reducing the price of the item. To be fair about 80 percent of the great deal I get are through private sellers. The internet works both ways, commercial sellers have gotten better at price leveling their items to match competitors on a national level not just regional. My best deals on guns have come through kitchen table FFL's

Google is an independent business that can regulate what they like. If they don't like blond plumbers they can deny adds based on that. Gun ownership and sales is not a protected class. As a bar owner I can deny serving people who are pro or anti gun if I want to take the time to figure out which is which. Why is is personal property is OK when its on one side and not OK when its not on your side? Take the good with the bad. No one is infringing on your right to own a gun when they say they do not want to do business with gun related products. eBay has done this, they do not allow selling of anything that makes a gun go bang. It is hit and miss as they do not catch some of the items that they will bounce out and they get to squeak through. But they have a right to do so and you have a right not to do business with a company that does not do what you think is right. Its just how things work. If you are posting because you want to boycott Google thats one thing but it seems like you think its illegal for them to do this.

I or any other poster never stated that they didn't have the right to do whatever the hell makes them happy.
