Title: No Gun Adds on Google or Bing Search
Post by: pianoman9701 on December 19, 2016, 07:00:12 AM: I found it interesting that when you search for a specific gun, prices aren't listed on the search results like they are for every other non-gun item you search for. 'Merica. :dunno:

But if you google just about any other product for sale, the search results page shows pricing and vendors, usually listed on the right side of the search results. Neither engine does this for guns. It's just stupid. It's an impotent effort to oppose gun ownership and trade, much like a Facebook post which says "Like & Share if you're against Spousal Abuse." It accomplishes nothing.

yahoo at least I found one that did list a price in their little description before clicking on it so yahoo while mostly seems like they do censor they're not as bad.
