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.

What exactly did youtube ban? I did a little search of various topics and found that not much has changed. I searched:

How to disamsble an ak-47.

bump stock demonstration

making a suppressor

gun profiles

Each search garnered multiple hits on each subject. I was particularly surprise by how many videos are available on makings a home made silencer(surpressor).

Many "gun demonstration" videos were done by folks who sell guns or accessories.

Some of these videos have a few million hits and over the years gun videos in general have probably gathered over a billion hits.

Is youtube not enforceing this "ban" strickly for fear of loss of revenue? Just wondering.

I enjoy Taofledermaus experimenting with different types/shapes/designs of ammo. Appears they are still up.

Read something earlier about several weapons sites moving to pornhub.

I just searched "reloading". Lots of videos. I really don't know what they banned. I think they were playing lip service to the gun grabbers.

I just glanced at the reload videos and they look like they have garnered 50 million hits between them all.
