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.”

C’mon folks….the First Amendment does not apply to Youtube, Facebbok, Twitter, or any other private entity. That being said….quit using them until they do. Take away their money and you will get their attention. Stop making these morons rich…they’ll start crying soon enough. It IS that damn simple.
Site is full of virus.

His channel is back on and Youtube says he did not violate any terms. They’re calling it a “Glitch”…….
Guess we need a GunTube website
He is back on now because people went crazy about it.
They suspend hickock45 but not James Yeagers arrogant$#%&!@* Not saying either should be suspended, it just makes no sense.
What are you talking about? How is this violating the 1st amendment? Free speech only guaranteed you wont be punished by your government. Youtube is a private company. They can ban you because they dont like the sound of your voice and there is nothing you can do about it but whine on the Internet.
Sorry, we lost our First Amendment Rights years ago, just go out in the street and yell NIGER and see how long you stay out of Jail.
Special discount for Liberals on this one.
