For gun related channels, there is an alternative, it's called Full30.com.

However, Full30 doesn't pay channels for views like YouTube does.

Perhaps we should require formal government mandated training and licensing before anyone is able to exercise their First Amendment rights, like they force on people who wish to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

No, the answer to speech we don't like is more speech, not regulation. When CBS, CNN, PMSNBC, etc., shill for SHrillary, the answer is another voice like Fox News or Breitbart coming into the marketplace to fill the void.

I don't want someone like SHrillary or Obummer in charge of a government entity that has the power to censor news stories they do not approve of, which is what you are proposing.

That allows you to preach to the choir.

YouTube lets you preach to the World.

If Christian bakers have to bake cakes for gay weddings then maybe YouTube has to allow monetization of pro-2A videos.

There is room to suggest that if YouTube allows some people to make money off their videos then they have to be very careful about how they limit who it is that gets to make money off their videos.

The vague language they use is a great way to allow only the speech they want (e.g. SJW crapola) to be monetized.

Dogma answer. Yeah, I know the spiel. Consider for a moment the possibility that you have not adequately considered the problem.

Liberals:
1. Billion watt transmitters shrieking out their opinions and preferred dogma.
2. Constellations of satellite networks to carry the opinions of Liberal Democrat Union Members from New York to all corners of the nation.
3. Entire Industry dedicated to creating movie entertainment with explicitly liberal premises infused into the plots.
4. Complete control of all the switching gear and major industries currently operating the internet.
5. Nearly all magazines and newspapers.

You:
1. Guy on a computer typing rants into the cyber wilderness.
2. Can go up to the court house steps and opine to the birds.

The realities of "freedom of speech" is *they* have the right to freedom of speech, and you don't. *They* control all means of addressing the public, and they routinely censor opinions such as yours.

The days are over when printing presses and public speaking rendered everyone on an equal footing. Nowadays, whoever controls "SkyNet" brainwashes everyone else with their opinions.

Yes, with *ALL* the marbles on the other side, we should be very concerned that regulation might cause *US* problems.

We’d better elect Trump or else kiss your 1st amendment goodbye, not only online but elsewhere!
