SUGGESTIONS:

You could buy Google.

Well, each person chooses which battles they will fight.

In my hands, Google does far more damage to the anti-rights side than it does to ours.

Stick it to 'em!

Nothing new - they hate knives too, specifically butterfly knives (balisongs) & automatic knives (switchblades).

I tried a Google search and there are advertisers listed.
