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.”

This article is misleading as hell.
They keep shutting down http://www.live.bernie2016.tv for no reason other than big interests trying to keep us quiet. So I feel you on this. It’s not right.

This Country has went completely and totally crazy. Obama is the worst thing that has ever been unleashed on the United States. I hope that in 2016 the people of the US send a stout message to Washington and the rest of the Country. We’ve had enough and this is unacceptable.
James Bowman UNTRUE!!! YouTube is publicly traded and gets paid from advertising. If they p**s a bunch of people off and everyone stops using YouTube, they go under.
fuckin b******t
This is old news he is back up and running again.
Google is publicly traded, but that is irrelevant. The 1st Amendment only applies to federal, state and local governments, not publicly traded companies.
True but $$$ always makes things happen.
If Hickok45 had only a few views here and there, wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but he’s big time ex-LEO with a long career, competitive shooter, and has a c**p load of connections. The guy is an awesome YouTuber.
