I read this, what it is is that they don't want guns to appear on any search feeds. It doesn't affect general results, and they won't drop gun shops out of hand, they just have to remove guns n ammo and such from their feed list. Now, I don't approve of this, but google is a private company, and their particular concern (not that I agree) is that they don't want somebody in say, England, seeing a gun for sale and trying to order it. Its kind of meh, but it doesn't worry me hugely.
