YouTube Joins War On Second Amendment With New Anti-Gun Policy

Google’s video service YouTube has been one of the more active crushers of enforcing the totalitarian left’s unspoken mandate that all patriotic speech, support of Trump and dissent from the temporarily stalled globalist project and has now taken aim at pro-Second Amendment videos which are a target of opportunity for the thought police. What is going on as far as censoring conservative viewpoints by demonetizing websites that have become dependent on social media giants for advertising is nothing short of fascism and yet it continues to get worse by the day.

Now YouTube is going after certain gun videos and this is only the beginning of what is yet to come from corporations with mega-wealthy CEOS whose loyalty is to the Democratic party machine rather than to their own users. The ongoing purges are nothing short of liberal California tech oligarchs meddling in the 2018 and 2020 elections in order to give the Dems a majority and then prevent President Trump from winning a second term.

Via Bloomberg “YouTube Bans Firearms Demo Videos, Entering the Gun Control Debate”:

YouTube, a popular media site for firearms enthusiasts, this week quietly introduced tighter restrictions on videos involving weapons, becoming the latest battleground in the U.S. gun-control debate.

YouTube will ban videos that promote or link to websites selling firearms and accessories, including bump stocks, which allow a semi-automatic rifle to fire faster. Additionally, YouTube said it will prohibit videos with instructions on how to assemble firearms. The video site, owned by Alphabet Inc.’s Google, has faced intense criticism for hosting videos about guns, bombs and other deadly weapons.

For many gun-rights supporters, YouTube has been a haven. A current search on the site for “how to build a gun” yields 25 million results, though that includes items such as toys. At least one producer of gun videos saw its page suspended on Tuesday. Another channel opted to move its videos to an adult-content site, saying that will offer more freedom than YouTube.

“We routinely make updates and adjustments to our enforcement guidelines across all of our policies,” a YouTube spokeswoman said in a statement. “While we’ve long prohibited the sale of firearms, we recently notified creators of updates we will be making around content promoting the sale or manufacture of firearms and their accessories.”

A new policy modification on how the video-sharing giant monitors certain content featuring guns has some feeling the pressure.

The new rules, announced Tuesday, include making it clear that YouTube will not host videos highlighting guns or some accessories such as bump stocks or magazines capable of holding more than 30 rounds for private sale by individuals. The Google subsidiary also said it won’t allow clips on manufacturing ammunition, guns, or suppressors or how to install or modify certain accessories.

“Their discriminatory policy would make at least half of the videos that I have produced prohibited,” notes The VSO Gun Channel, which as of Tuesday had 129,000 subscribers. Others, such as the suppressor-heavy NFA Review Channel, warned the policy would “effectively shut down all gun pages.”

The latest policy update because never forget that fascism is incremental:

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.

To quote historian Milton Mayer from his book on the life in Nazi Germany “They Thought They Were Free” and pay attention to this folks…

… what the whole thing was in principle, what all these ‘little measures’ that no ‘patriotic German’ could resent must some day lead to, one no more saw it developing from day to day than a farmer in his field sees the corn growing.

One day it is over his head

The next set of “new rules” will tighten the garotte around the necks of patriotic Americans even more.
