Hickock 45 suspended from YouTube.

I'm still waiting for details as to why it was shut off. There are a lot of theories but no actual information yet.

Well, in Post #1 above, the quote in the box is from Hickock himself. He is confirming it is a violation apparently having to do with Google+.

Maybe he cross posted to a rival.. aka xy or z internet medium.
Can't have that so burn him.

And he appears to be back...

So, was this just a misunderstanding by YT? Or was there a very rapid and large backlash against YT causing them to reverse their decision??? The world may never know.

Of course YT will never tell either way.

Hopefully he can tell. If you get temporarily banned here you can't talk about it.

Hickock45 was the first YouTube gun channel I came across when I first got into gun collecting and shooting. I love his folksy demeanor and lack of power metal background music and paramilitary posturing; it was all about the gun and shooting with some education tossed in.

I'm sure Yankee Marshall/Playboy Penguin will have a video on it soon unless he gets the axe as well.

YM (PlayboyPenguin) did post a video on this, likely posted before the account came back up:

It is obviously "blatant" censorship! Companies will continue to do this in one form or fashion! Public outcry is all well and good but in the end said company will do it again and again until some "drastic" changes occur to shift cultural thinking and blatant paranoia! The behind the curtain tactics are over, everything is a blatant slap in the face now with no regard to public perception.
All the large social media platforms are extremely anti freedom and could care less about constituitional freedoms! Just my 2cents.

 

[mjbskwim]

Oh boy another favorite ...and and he even has the Wa guns hat on
hahaha

 

[Salps]

just watched it?

Might be a good time for me to make Google (owns YouTube) a new LOGO...

 

[David Bowman]

Yeah, nice job to Youtube. Makes them look even more like horse's behinds.

My sons found several porn videos on Y.T. and showed me! We thought Y.T. had strict policies concerning this! I guess they only police videos they are pressured to enforce! To pull all videos from Hickock .45? I find that more of an insult. What could he possibly have done to raise the ire of U.T. an yet they continue to allow porn on there site? Something isn't right here folks.

his videos were deciding factors on multiple guns i have bought in the past (then lost in a dog sledding accident)

 

[Ura-Ki]

I always liked his videos! Especially on guns I could never own or afford! I will miss seeing those! I will also miss his history notes, many of them seldom noted in more main stream media!
