Hopefully the other gun channels aren't doing the Patreon thing like these guys. I get that they all want to make some money, but I'm not paying $5/mo times 30 channels or whatever to watch everyone on Patreon.

I haven't been on Rumble in a good while, but just now jumped over there, and they actually look to be expanding nicely. The only guntuber I saw that I know was Mrgunsngear.

They could also look at doing something like jumping on the War Poet channels. I wouldn't mind paying a single reasonable subscription fee to watch the gun videos in a single place. I just don't want multiple subscriptions or having to go to a hundred different sites.

Social media giant YouTube has reversed course on deleting videos and channels featuring videos where a silencer is attached to a gun.

The video hosting site said recent moderation efforts aimed at videos where sound suppressors are affixed to guns were a mistake. The takedowns and channel strikes had appeared to affect videos, whether attaching the suppressor was part of a guide or just incidental. The company said it is now in the process of restoring videos and channels that were wrongly flagged.

Mrgunsngear posted that they can now also insert mags into guns.

Well of course, you white privilege bastard.

Guns, in any format, are EVIL.

Suppressors are also EVIL.

Together? CTHULU LEVEL EVIL!


How to steal a car? Well that's just redistribution of wealth, which is a social benefit.

Funny, I can pull up YouTube at work with no issues.  Can't pull up anything remotely gun connected like a gun company website or even Cabelas.  The benefits of .gov employment.

They're obviously better strategists than we.  It's an all out attack.

Dropping the videos, or forcing them to sites which the average joe won't even be aware of and will no longer "just happen" on a gun site, is the equivalent of bombing our airfields.

My work allows Youtube, but recently they changed the settings.  Any video that is at all restricted is blocked and comments are disabled.  The restricted videos don't even show up on a search.  If I pull up a youtube channel, the restricted videos don't appear at all.
