The hickok45 youtube account has once again been terminated for repeated violations of google policies.
Calling on all who like his channel to give youtube your feedback.
Heard something about this earlier tonight but didn’t have time to get the whole story. What’s the whole story?
I don’t know the whole story. I only just tried going there and I get the account has been terminated page.
Evil corporation strikes again.
I am his subscriber, and this is a HUGE shock.
That guy was VERY narrowly focused on introducing firearms, explaining their history and demonstrating their proper, safe use on a rural, backyard firing range using standard targets.
Very rarely was he political and I never heard him use a shadow of any racial slur EVER, not one time.
I also never heard him use a curse word. I never heard him lambaste any aspect of Islam.
This sounds like a group of random people getting together and mobbing his YouTube site with FLAGS with no merit —has happened to me.
Three flags and you are OUT.
For this guy its much worse, though, cuz he was regularly getting 2, 3 million hits of each of his vids, and he put one out about once per week.
This is a really big deal.
this reeks of fascist censorship.
The liberals think that even looking at a firearms demonstration can kill you.
Damn. The PC cancer is eroding everything the First and Second Amendments were intended to protect. It’s time to fight back.
I just sat down about an hour ago to watch some videos and saw he was banned again.
Came over here to see if there was any information.
This is really disappointing.
Why Did YouTube Shut Down One of the Most Popular Gun Channels?
https://www.youtube.com/user/HICKOCK45/videos
Note that YouTube lists “no videos” and “no recent activity”, which is totally ridiculous.
WHAT SET THIS OFF?
Anyone know?
The only thing I could possibly imagine would be some JOKE he uttered.
Mostly he was all, “Lets try for that there GONG, up there..!” BANG BANG BANG “huh huh huh!!!”
That was like 50% of his channel —him shooting guns, laughing a little, then saying some more observations about the firearm.
I watched his vid today with his son, it was very laid back, no pointing of fingers or anything...this is an organized attack on his youtube channel by anti-gun activists...this really pisses me off
This has got to be Obama/Google collaboration, or something.
More of the effort to turn guns into the new SMOKING;
Barely legal, but shameful as ALL HELL.
Like shivering smokers out behind the company building, behind some shameful SCREEN —super bad, dirty people doing dirty, bad things.
This is POLITICAL, I suspect.
Google/Youtube is not the public square. They’re afforded the rights to admit or deny anyone, for any reason.
That said, it reeks of facism and censorship. They’re clearly worried that their beliefs can’t withstand the airing of contrary view (dissent). “Shut up”, they explain.
As with other media, we need alternative, conservative outlets that minimally allow, if not promote or champion our views.
If Google/Youtube is not the public square and they can deny anyone for any reason then why do Christian bakers have to service gay clintele?
I like FPS Russia also, but does he glorify guns any LESS than Hickok45..?
I think not.

They;re nibbling away at the edges FIRST..?
WHAT SET THIS OFF?
PUSSIES.
Great point!
Gay cake — YOU SHALL BAKE..!
Gun video - Naw, the private sector can CHOOSE. Yup.
Abortion at Catholic hospital - YOU SHALL ABORT..!
Muzzie driver haul booze - MUST ACCOMATE HIM..!!
Bacon scan by Walmart muzzie checker - MUST ACCOMODATE HER..!
Pre-game football prayer - MUST SHUT DOWN..!
Experts in weaponry and long guns have died off sort of, since 2009. Taken out on lonely roads in Georgia, shot point blank....
Can’t have people TEACHING others about weaponry.
YouTube got a phone call.
Because politics has invaded the Supreme Court. The same court that has compelled us to buy a product, or be subject to a tax (Obamacare).
Two wrongs don't make a right.
