Not content to trample on Americans’ Second Amendment rights, the gun control crowd is fixing to similarly trample on their First Amendment rights as well.
In the latest move of it’s kind, popular Youtube personality Hickok45 had his account suspended by Google for allegedly violating it’s terms of service. Needless to say, Hickok45 was shocked by the suspension. He never posted anything objectionable, so why should Google ban his account?
See, Hickok45’s channel featured videos of him handling and talking about firearms. He had made a name for himself as a gun enthusiast, with over 1.7 million Youtube users subscribing to his channel. But that all changed this Wednesday when his most recent video was automatically posted to Google+.
Shortly after the video was posted on the site, Hickok45 was informed that his account had been suspended without any actual explanation. He took to Facebook to express his confusion, writing, “Apparently, Google + is more sensitive about firearms related postings and such. I never use Google+ and did not even realize the videos were being posted over there, I guess.”

You rabid right wingers will froth at the mouth at any hiccup in anything. There’s always some sort of anti-freedom conspiracy with you guys. This is OLD news, and I DO watch Hickock 45’s videos now and again. Youtube fixed the issue pretty fast and here is Hickock 45’s ACTUAL youtube reply on what happenned. maybe som SIMPLE research would reveal the truth instead of jumping on the “everyone’s out to get me” bandwagon. This is yet one more example showing just how much you fear mongers don’t know and your refusal to do a simple fact check. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Opy9K3j7ThE
I tried to carry my loaded gun into the bar yesterday. they wouldn’t let me. thanks Obama !!
They also unbanned his channel……to be fair
It wasn’t Youtube………it was the Google side which doesn’t allow accounts to profit from recommendations they make. Hickok didn’t pay attention to the mirror google acct…only youtube where it’s okay to profit………so the youtube version stayed up. He’s since gotten the issue resolved with google and as I understand it has gotten that page restored once the misunderstanding was resolved. I subscribe to his channel and he has addressed this in several videos since this all happened. Doesn’t sound like google had any nefarious purposes…just following their own rules. As a believer in gun rights I know we have enemies. I don’t believe we need to make more by posting stuff like this without vetting it first.
PS; I watched Hickok 45’s latest video posted up today (2/3/16) about 12pm……….it was on the Colt Defender….check it out!
This is not true… The site is still on YouTube.
This happened early last month (January).
This country has gone completely mad, beyond common sense and reason. First Facebook and now YouTube turning against law abiding citizens. When will this madness end ?
Terrible…shame on you …YouTube
WTF,$#%&!@*sucking Liberals.
