Full Title: Google Appears to Remove All Shopping Search Results for Guns — Even Water Guns, ‘Guns and Roses,’ ‘Burgundy’
Google has removed search results for any product that contains the word “gun” in it, including water guns, toy guns, the band “Guns and Roses,” and even “burgundy” from its shopping section. Google has removed results in its shopping tool for a wide range of terms related to firearms, unwittingly censoring completely unrelated items such as music groups and movies whose titles matched filtered terms.
Google Shopping allows users to search for products from a wide range of online shopping sites to compare prices and offerings. The Internet giant has removed search results for a wide variety of terms, which was discovered by social media users this week.
Searches for “gun,” “guns,” “pistol,” “pistols,” “AR-15,” “rifle,” and “revolver,” in the shopping section of Google’s search engine will now fail to return any results, while other searches which have nothing to do with firearms but include the keywords similarly provide no results, including “toy guns,” “water guns,” “glue gun,” “Guns and Roses,” “Gundam,” “Top Gun,” “Naked Gun,” the Man With the Golden Gun,” “Shogun,” “Sex Pistols,” and even “burgundy.”
The fact that words including “gun” as part of the title have led many to suspect Google is running a filter specifically to remove any search result including those letters, as opposed to filtering by product category or vendor.

"Your search - guns - did not match any shopping results."
The left uses any excuse they can find to impose their agenda on us.
Down the memory hole.
Guns? Did people used to own them? I don’t believe it! Why would anyone be allowed to own such a dangerous thing???
Google is evil.
5.56mm
More sales for the local gun stores. :)
just use DuckDuckGo. I use it on all my mobile devices with good success.
That’s silly and an over reaction. Guns do exist.
I suspect this will boost other search engines who are less
easily frightened by boycott threats.
Search for AR15, no results. Search for AK47 and plenty of results. I guess the AR15 is evil and the AK47 isn’t.
Your search - gun - did not match any shopping results.
Your search - rifle - did not match any shopping results.
Your search - handgun - did not match any shopping results.
““Guns and Roses,” “Gundam,”
Tried both. They’re fine. It’s Guns N Roses BTW and I’ve seen them 5 times. and I just Google GUNS, and Cabela’s came up which is normal. Maybe the author need to clean his cache and look out for black helicopters..
or startpage
Who shops with that search term anyway? ROTFL.
You laugh. And then you realize that they have the power to do this to everything else.
Steve Bannon was right. Regulate the @#%& out of them.
Completely stop using this leftist search machine!! Go to “DUCK DUCK GO” asap!!
click the shopping button, as stated by the author.
Idk.
I just tried -
Guns and Roses = nothing
Guns N Roses = nothing
Guns = nothing
Gundam = worked fine surprisingly
So don’t go to google shopping. Guns at just google shows where to buy
BING has it. Lots of results for “gun sales”.
Doesn’t Duck Duck Go use Google, but with a safety level between? If so, probably would get the same query results as Google itself. I’ll have to give it a test.
google is a commie organisation but they didn’t limit the “gun” search on their search engine. FAKE NEWS
