Why does Summa Health System censor Internet access to gun info?

The Web site www.downrange.tv is classified as weapons. Visits to this site do not conform to the Internet Policy defined by Summa Health Care Management. [More]
Today's Gun Rights Examiner commentary notes an unhealthy policy.

This is rather like the questionnaire I filled out for a job application. They had a question about enjoying guns. They did have a place to comment on the questions, and I told them that I resented that question, as I fear that it will be used to exclude me from consideration in today's anti-gun climate.

I share the poster's indignation, I think Summa Health Systems are nanny douchebags, but they can do whatever the heck they want with their private property ie their wifi, their bandwidth, their gateway.
Yeah this sucks, but these days, it's almost a none issue with non-contract 3G wifi usb sticks, or using your smartphone as a hotspot. Heck, I check in on Gunbroker and Armslist and occasionally WOG throughout the day on my droid :) My data plan on my dime, so no problem.
btw someone should let this guy know that the BOR sets limits on government (used to anyway), not what a private individual or corporation may or may not do.
