Search for "gun rights" in Google, and the Wikipedia feature box on the top-right of the results page is the Gun Control article.

It is known that Google employees have the capability to skew search results politically, just not whether they do it in specific circumstances (of course it would be robustly denied)

You are certain? Or, are you suspicious? Those are pretty different statements. And it seems you lack evidence to back either one.
