Okay, not that I'm subversive, or spiteful......but for what it's worth....
I sometimes find myself searching Google Shopping just to see how thorough they are. They seem to have been rather tedious as some terms such as "Winchester" have "O search results"...Wha? HUH? You mean Google (Google Shopping, to be specific), the most expansive and tedious search tool in existence is too stupid to find ANYTHING with the name "Winchester"? Nope. They have obviously weeded this term out and removed it from results.
Oh, yeah? Well, I have a pointless sense of determination and lots of time on my hands, let's just see!
AH HA! They missed something! (Of course, there's no listed seller, and it IS, unfortunately, only airsoft....but you DO get a result for "Remington 870"!

Found some stuff under "1911 grips" too!:

Of course, this has spawned another idea for pointless activism that is probably futile (I'm really good at cooking up ideas that serve absolutely no purpose other than a warm, fuzzy feeling.)
How about we flame them with overwhelming requests for firearm related items? I'm talking you and all your friends spend as much time as possible searching for firearm related items to buy on Google Shopping. Don't they keep track of search terms? I wonder what they'll think when they see millions and millions of dollars worth of merchandise sought, and unable to be found? Comments can be left to rub salt into open wounds by leaving remarks such as "Could not find this item on Google. Went to Bing with excellent results!"
Whenever you do find gun related items that slip through the cracks....make sure to rate it +1 on their rating device to up the reccommendation for the gun related results.
I will also be submitting "feedback" in their feedback request link in the Remington 870 airsoft search. I'll be informing them that their online shopping service completely blows and that I'll be encouraging everyone I speak with to patronize Bing Shopping as their service is outstanding. See:
