Not content to trample on Americans’ Second Amendment rights, the gun control crowd is fixing to similarly trample on their First Amendment rights as well.
In the latest move of it’s kind, popular Youtube personality Hickok45 had his account suspended by Google for allegedly violating it’s terms of service. Needless to say, Hickok45 was shocked by the suspension. He never posted anything objectionable, so why should Google ban his account?
See, Hickok45’s channel featured videos of him handling and talking about firearms. He had made a name for himself as a gun enthusiast, with over 1.7 million Youtube users subscribing to his channel. But that all changed this Wednesday when his most recent video was automatically posted to Google+.
Shortly after the video was posted on the site, Hickok45 was informed that his account had been suspended without any actual explanation. He took to Facebook to express his confusion, writing, “Apparently, Google + is more sensitive about firearms related postings and such. I never use Google+ and did not even realize the videos were being posted over there, I guess.”

I’ve seen some of his videos. I don’t know what the terms of service are but unless he does something rediculous in one I haven’t seen I don’t know of any reason to boot him.

What an idiot.. This is the same as the Christian bakery that refused to bake for a gay wedding… But in reverse. Why is this group not allowed access to YouTube ? Millions others are include ung many that depict acts of crime , porn and outrageous acts … This group , acting legally …. Was denied access to post their videos .. Other than YouTube decision to self impose restrictions on their freedoms of expression
Really is this censorship

Terms of Service?
Is that a euphemism for,
“Rules subject to our interpretation based on political climate and are changeable at our discretion without notice”?

Conspiracy theorists. ….this has nothing to do with Obama or Islam or Muslims. You tube is a privately run corporation. They are free to make their own decisions…regardless of the consequences. Just like if someone was carrying on in my business I have every right to naught serve them and throw them out. I believe this is old news anyhow. He is back on the air . I see he posted a new video yesterday.
