YouTube Bans Firearms Demo Videos, Entering the Gun Control Debate

Of all the useless and stupid... gorram censorship... pisses me off.
 
Well they haven't done it yet.... I just watched three vids about automatic weapons demos.

I'd have to have more details about what they ban to form an opinion. I question banning videos demonstrating gun assembly, for example. If I have a gun, I want to know exactly how it works. I want to be able to take it apart and put it back together. Not to mention that there is some disassembly involved in cleaning.

Never fear, I got your back.

World of Guns: Gun Disassembly on Steam

It's a free to play game, that teaches you all about taking guns apart. Way better than youtube.

Not yet. Wanna see how easy it is to make a semi-automatic fire like an automatic without a bumpstock or any special attached apparatus? There’s tons of “educational” videos.

Not sure why my link isn’t showing the video, but should go to YouTube

Remove the "m." for "mobile" in the URL.

You can hold most any semi auto rifle in a certain grip and get bumpfire with a normal stock, wrapping just the finger of the right hand around the trigger and gripping the forestock in the hand, as recoil kicks back, the left hand grip gives slight forward pressure.

If you had bothered to look at YouTube then you would have found that many gun demo, review and takedown videos are still present.

Try reading the article.
The new YouTube policies will be enforced starting in April, but at least two video bloggers have already been affected. Spike’s Tactical, a firearms company, said in a post on Facebook that it was suspended from YouTube due to “repeated or severe violations” of the video platform’s guidelines.

This is why Google and its affiliates can't be trusted. They played the neutral good guy for many years and now we are seeing their true colors: censorship through corporate entitlement.

WOAH you found a gun video... ya know if you used the READING skill, you'd learn April is when this happens.
 
This is the sort of thing that gives folk the idea that them who run things are not fair, and that they dont treat people with any degree of civility.
 
The Internet has become a reflection of the thoughts, ideas and sum of knowledge, of the human race.
One cannot be a champion for the 'free internet' and be all aghast that there's information on it that is...hurtful. Dangerous.

Welcome to the World Wide Web humans.:roll:

Welcome to our bad gun culture, where people actually rely on YouTube videos to teach them how a gun works. If you have a gun, you should already know how it works.
 
I'm giving them feedback every time I go on Youtube, that if they do this gun ban I am through with them.


I suggest everyone else do likewise...

What an absolutely incorrect thing to say. I have guns, I can strip them and clean them and maintenance them. However I have viewed the "how to's on line" and learned some different ways of doing things.

Do you feel the same way about Car Repair videos, I mean, if you own a car you should know how to do all the maintenance.
How about DIY Home Projects, you should be against those as well, after all if you own a home, you should know how to fix it.
 
Youtube has not banned gun demos

 
But will they also ban demonstrations of explosives, like Mentos in bottles of Coca Cola?
 
Damnit.

Go home Youtube, you're drunk.

Smh.
 
I would agree, too bad YouTube is my place for video content....
