On the same day that AmmoLand News reported on President Joe Biden’s attempt to shut down private sales of guns and websites that help people sell their firearms, YouTube shut down the Armslist YouTube Channel.
YouTube told AmmoLand News directly that it shut down the channel for “facilitating” gun sales, violating the YouTube terms of service (TOS). The TOS prohibits selling guns or linking to ads for gun sales.
“YouTube routinely reviews content to ensure it complies with community guidelines, and we terminated the channel in question for violating our policies that prohibit facilitating the direct sale of firearms on YouTube,” A YouTube spokesperson told AmmoLand News. “We enforce our policies equally for everyone and terminate channels that repeatedly violate our policies or are dedicated to violative content.”
Although the Armslist site contains classified ads for those wanting to sell guns, the Armslist YouTube page did not sell or link to the Armslist site. The latest video showed how to paint your rifle using spray paint. Thousands of videos on the platform show the same process, which does not violate the YouTube TOS.
YouTube works on a strike system. If a channel receives three strikes within 90 days, it could be terminated by the Google platform. At the time of Armslist being terminated, the channel did not have any active strikes. It seems like the video-sharing platform skipped the usual process and just removed the channel.
Last year, YouTube terminated multiple channels that covered homemade firearms. After receiving a list of channels via email from NBC News, YouTube determined what channels to shut down. Last week the New York Times posted a piece about Armslist, leading many to believe the story is related to the takedown.

One for the Bang List if you approve.
Plenty other places beside YT..................
Disturbing how they call their corporate policies “community standards”.
Rumble lives
Welcome to Rumble!
Taking down the 1A and demonizing the 2A in one “shot” is impressive in a hellish sort of way.
Not disturbing, but revealing.
Of course, it’s the feds who are insisting they do this. Never forget the goal of the feds is to disarm us in any way possible, regardless of the fact that their actions are creating the opposite reaction to their goals.
