      Only partially. Most people watching gun videos online are just skipping to the "cool" bits wanting to see guns glamourized, which most gun channels do. That aspect encourages more impressionable people to just want to get hold of guns to mess around with, to feel cool and powerful, basically. That is the dangerous part. Proper safety education, courses and tests run by experienced ex-military experts should be absolutely a basic standard for anyone wanting to get any kind of gun licence. Gun owners shouldn't need to go on social media to have to learn how to be safe, basically.

    From India. Been with you for years now. In India, it is extremely difficult to get hold of a gun and license. But seeing you explain the rifles and hand guns has made it easier for not owning one! Fervently hope you don’t shut down the channel! Wishing saner minds will prevail in Google / You Tube.

    When you said, "We wish we could tell you more about the specifics, . . . . . " Sir, you should be able to tell us the specifics with no fear. When you feel you cannot do that, that means UA-cam is up to something and it is never good. You should be able to be as open and honest and transparent as you want to be. If UA-cam is going to "update" policy, etc., they should be totally transparent about it. When an entity like UA-cam is not willing to be transparent about what is going on and what their changes mean for all of us, whether someone makes the videos or someone watches the vidoes that others have made, then I know UA-cam has something to hide. Censorship is never good.
    I started watching this channel about 3 years ago and appreciated everything I learned. I was new to handguns and bought a Glock 43X. I watched your review on it, in addition to several reviews of different models of Glocks, etc., and I have learned so much. Thank you for what you did and what you will continue to do. You have my support. God bless you both.

      Dear CP, The HickOks, and YT Channels! Get the best litigation lawyer for class actions and tortious interference you can find. Try to find one who works on a contingency fee basis if possible. I don’t practice in this area, but there are other incredibly talented lawyers who do.
      The legal argument is that Google cannot enforce terms of service (TOS) that violate 'free speech' without violating the Commerce Clause and the First Amendment. By arbitrarily changing their TOS, Google is interfering with existing contracts, which amounts to tortious interference and causes damages. Another key legal argument is that taxpayers helped build and fund the internet, so any private company obstructing interstate traffic and free speech may be violating the Interstate Commerce Clause and the First Amendment. Such actions could make these companies "state actors" liable for violating First Amendment rights and the Interstate Commerce Clause.
