Well, it happened.  Perform a quick Google search for "Glock 17"  , then click "shopping in the left-nav, and you will see Google stood by their word and banished firearms from their commerce search engine.  Apparently Google wants their shopping portal to be "family safe" and this means guns, ammo, and knives are not welcome.  My question is, "are firearms not family friendly"?  I know some of my fondest memories as a child include deer hunting with my father. 

What does this mean for gun retailers?  Surely they will need to find ways to supplement the traffic lost by the Google shopping engine.  I suspect Bing and Yahoo search will be utilized more for online firearm commerce sales but with Google's search dominance this may not happen soon.  

What are your thoughts on this move by Google?
