Shopping for a gun or associated equipment? Don’t use Google.
A major anti-gun group is applauding Google’s recent policy change to exclude firearms and other weapons from its shopping search results.
The policy — part of the company transitioning its Shopping Center to a commercial site — places shopping results under its advertising policy, which is a paid service. Google stated in a letter to firearms retailers that its policy was necessary to ensure family safety, in addition to legal and regulatory compliance.
Some people in the comments have suggested IXQUICK – download. You can use it to replace Google in Firefox as well.

I don’t understand how knowing that somebody is selling guns affects family safety.
Nothing like a search company deciding content is objectionable. Since they’re a business they can make whatever decisions they need to, but for me, making moral judgments for your customers is not a win.
