YouTube recently tightened its restrictions around gun-related content and banned videos about the selling and making of firearms, ammunition and accessories.

Yep, another the "sky is falling" u tube post.

We still don't know really what happened. IMO: None of the stuff at your link are reliable.

1. Maybe u tube tested the waters.

2. Maybe u tube had a glitch.

3. Maybe Brownell's wants to sell more stuff by stirring up pro-gunners.

I think gun channels are on their way out of YouTube. YouTube will harass and change their terms of service until it is rid of channels which don't tow its political philosophy. The overnight bans are probably just testing the waters to see if YouTube can expedite things.
