Policies on content featuring firearms

YouTube prohibits certain kinds of content featuring firearms. Specifically, we don’t allow content that:

Intends to sell firearms or certain firearms accessories through direct sales (e.g., private sales by individuals) or links to sites that sell these items. These accessories include but may not be limited to accessories that enable a firearm to simulate automatic fire or convert a firearm to automatic fire (e.g., bump stocks, gatling triggers, drop-in auto sears, conversion kits), and high capacity magazines (i.e., magazines or belts carrying more than 30 rounds).

Provides instructions on manufacturing a firearm, ammunition, high capacity magazine, homemade silencers/suppressors, or certain firearms accessories such as those listed above. This also includes instructions on how to convert a firearm to automatic or simulated automatic firing capabilities.

Shows users how to install the above-mentioned accessories or modifications.

Report content that violates this policy

You can report videos that you believe violate this policy by flagging the video.

Well back to the manual books for assembly and disassembly of certain firearms...

Schipperke · Mar 20, 2018

Start archiving. I've done a few so far.

twitch is the next YouTube. Youtube is done, content creators from all walks of life are bailing.

https://www.bitchute.com/ is an alternative that isn't as polished or as accessible as YouTube, but they observe free speech.

danb · Mar 20, 2018

So are Jerry Miculek videos banned?

Remember, its how how fast you shoot, its how well you shoot, fast.

I deleted my YouTube app a couple weeks ago when they started removing content from gun channels.

I now view https://www.full30.com/

Largely the result of tech companies being in CA and our side failing to influence people in them.

I agree with this to an extent, but it’s hard to influence those who have essentially silenced you.

No surprise enemies of the second amendment are also enemies of the first amendment.
I posted some pro gun pictures on instagram and my whole account got shadowbanned and all the hashtags on all of my pictures have been disabled.
There is now mass censorship of pro gun content. Ideas are more dangerous than guns as Joseph Stalin once said.

Youtube just went nuclear.

MrsRab1515 · Mar 20, 2018

Glad I just finished my Glock 80% build. Guess I need to start archiving the videos I wanted to follow for my future 1911 build.

How many times has YouTube shot themselves in the foot now?

RepublicOfFranklin · Mar 20, 2018

I’ll second the recommendation of Full 30. They provide a platform for a lot of gun you tubers. I know they have MAC, Forgotten Weapons and InRange TV.

Option for pulling entire channels: https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/

If anyone has a channel they want to preserve, I have plenty of storage and bandwidth at my disposal.

j.smooth4 · Mar 21, 2018

They are trying to make gun videos akin to pornography. They know the new generation loves social media/internet and a lot of new gun users use youtube for information. First it was the demonetization now this.

So sad the censorship and one sided arguments going on in the media today.

SummitCnty · Mar 21, 2018

Looks like I have to archive a few how to videos for some future projects.

rascal · Mar 21, 2018

Interesting, it makes fully legal 80% conversion forbidden content. It is part of the chilling effect.
There is plenty of Antifa youtube and google content and videos on how to disguise yourself, thwart police trying to stop riots, provoke violent responses, etc untouched by google and youtube

Is there a way to. Report these channels as causing hate.

There should be some sort of link either on the channel or individual videos. Report away!
