Title: Google Bans Guns
Post by: Houlihan on July 02, 2012, 01:04:42 PM
July 1, three days before Independence Day, Google banned ALL ads for guns, ammo and even gun parts.  Big brother stomping on the 2nd Amendment.

Laugh if you like.  But you can't go to Google Shopping and find ads for guns or gun related items.  Yes...you can search on Google and go directly to a vendor website and buy from them.  But, Google Shopping is a service like Amazon.  And they no longer allow gun stuff on their site.  It's a matter of record.  Support them if you like.  I prefer to support the 2nd ammendment, and not have huge corporations deciding what's okay and what isn't.

Never said I support them! I support the 2nd ammendment,the right to bear arms,as well as the 1st ammendment,freedom of speech,which would be their right to put whatever they want on their site,just like yours or mine.

Agreed, Mikey.  The 1st is as key as the 2nd (and others).  And now we all get to express an opinion by deciding whose products and services (and beliefs) we trust.
