In less than a month, Google will be banning the advertisement of airsoft guns, paintball guns, bb guns and gun scopes, ammunition, ammunition clips or belts in September.

Google posted a preview of the change to their policy, which currently allows the advertisement of these goods on AdWords.

William Rock posted about this on Google+ and there are more complaints about this on Google AdWords Help.

The email sent to AdWords advertisers impacted by this was sent a month ago and read:

Of course, those impacted by this new policy are not happy.
