From the above:
"Weapons
As highlighted on our new policy page http://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/ApI7UWRj6OCZpd, in order to comply with the Google Shopping policies you need to comply first with the AdWords policies http://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/StQ08jAzM4fVtG. We do not allow the promotion or sale of weapons and any related products such as ammunitions or accessory kits on Google Shopping. In order to comply with our new policies, please remove any weapon-related products from your data feed and then re-submit your feed in the Merchant Center. For more information on this policy please visit http://www.google.com/appserve/mkt/GbBNIGHOribLzf."
Seems like they are working on phasing this in. I get no results in Google Shopping when I search for "AR 15" or "Glock", but looking for more specific parts still gets results sometimes.
No matter, I've already changed default search engines and sent Google a feedback letter telling them I won't be back and why.
