Amazon Deletes Hundreds of Items After Senators Criticize ‘Assault Weapon’ Accessory Sales
By Abe Voelker

Starting in early August, Amazon began purging hundreds of listings for firearm accessories from its website that include the terms “AR-15” or “AK-47.” At the moment, many of these products still show up in Google’s search cache, however following the results render Amazon’s 404 page which displays a picture of a random employee’s dog.

I first noticed this last month when some products I was planning to buy disappeared, as well as products that I had already bought from Amazon that were in my order history. When I started noticing a pattern, I wrote a quick crawler to perform some Google queries and walk the results to see what exactly had been recently removed.

I came up with a list of a couple of hundred products, although there could be many more that I’m missing.

And the purge continues. I guess the only saving grace is that there are plenty of firearm sites (Brownells, etc.) that still sell the same or similar products.

Until the day comes that no gun sites will be allowed to show up in a search...

Change the landscape so we don't need to "stock up".

Maybe in another two hundred years because it's not happening in our lifetime

Wonder if the colonists had that attitude?

No they had their hands full fighting the natives and red coats

There is a far larger agenda in play.

In 30 years we will either be living under a pseudo techno-dictatorship or have survived a 2nd civil war

We have always been at war with Oceania

Screw em but to be honest I don’t trust what I’m buying from them isn’t a Chinese knock off

Happened to me. I got a "CMMG" LPK there which... very obviously wasn't when it showed up (not all bags were color coded and it didnt come in a CMMG box).

Whatever anyone does don’t order a tourniquet off there. Not if you really value your life.
