I figured you or Yeager would be first to go... in all seriousness, not only is it bullshit they took him down for political reasons, but his channel was probably the best one-stop library for any gun you want to look up and that is akin to book-burning.
+Milsurp Mike that's probably why they took him down, he's got so many subscribers and he's not the type to bitch about politics, he just gives you the basics on guns...In a way that's a bit scarier to them
wildcat19671 The filter looks for malicous posts or what not. Auto systems tend to do weird things. The emails if he was getting them probably went to spam or were hidden in the thousands of emails he gets per day. i'm 99.9% certain nobody banned him at youtube/google by hand. Every time you upload a video with a linked G+ account, it posts it on G+ also, So if he had advertisements in his descriptions that didn't follow G+ guidelines but might have been okay for youtube guidelines, it would flag them every time. That or somebody has purposely been flagging his G+ posts to cause problems. I've seen instances of that where people do dumb shit.
Hickok has an astoundingly good YT channel. I have learned so much from him. He is also one extremely good dude and one hell of a good shot. Hes also no spring chicken and may have just been taking a break. Glad to see he is back now though. Hickok is one BIG dude! For those that do not know he is 6 foot 8!!!
I watch your videos not just for the entertainment value, although that is a plus!! Even the Glock build ones. Shopping for gun recently opened up my life to all these videos including hickok45. I saw someone mention that hickok45 likes every gun, may have been you even. Keep making these informative and entertaining videos!!
He posted on Facebook that there were some issues with posting to G+ in the past. I looked up the ToS and it seems that G+ has different content requirements than RUclips regarding "Restricted Items". G+ wants restricted items to be age restricted, and as you and I know, RUclips makes it easy to post to G+ when uploading but not easy to age restrict -I had to dig around to actually find out how to do it. The dumb thing seems to be here that guns or content related to guns is considered "restricted" on G+. I take issue with that, but nothing nefarious is at play here. So lets all take a collective step away from the ledge, Google didn't just go on an Anti-Gun raid.
a text from his facebook reads as follows: Update: (8:50 CST) Finally, I was able to get into my Google PLUS account, which has been suspended and is apparently the source of the problem. I took about an hour and deleted every single post there and submitted another appeal. No way there can be a Google PLUS problem now; there's nothing there. We'll see where it goes from here. Here we go again. this was 5 hrs ago
I recently started getting into watching gun channels. TheYankeeMarshal is one of the few I really enjoy. I like your brand of humor. I'm glad to see Hickok45 back.
I'm a fan of BOTH "The Yankee Marshall", AND "Hickok .45". And I learned recently on "The Yankee Marshall" that there was an issue with "Hickok .45" still being available to view on the Net!!!! Well, I saw an add that "Hickok" was "Alive and well" in so many words. YEEEEAAAAAAYYYYYIIIEEEE. Happy Ending for ALL!!!!! And "Marshall".......I just purchased a Chiappa 40SD from "Bud's". They treated me w/STELLAR Courtesy, and I received my "Toy" in NO time at ALL!!!!! I maintained Great contact w/them through the Entire Buying process. Folks in K'tucky are REALLY Nice. W/O any wise cracks about my being from NY State!!!!!! ANYWAY........ Much Love and Respect to All concerned. I continue to watch BOTH Video Mediums for Educational, and Enter value. Ciao, Ciao!!!!!😎
Just FYI for everyone, Hickok's channel is back up. And for those of you who don't know, his channel was briefly offline because as it turns out, as Mr. Hickok was uploading his videos to RUclips, he didn't realize that they also apparently get uploaded to Google+, and firearms (or firearms showcasing, demonstrations, etc.) violate Google+ rules. Apparently they only believe in freedom of speech and expression so long as you agree with them. The fact that these things (including firearms) are given rights obviously means nothing to them.
Perhaps you should read the 1st Amendment, then you'd know who can and cannot curtail speech. Would you allow someone you invited into your home to insultingly rant about you or a family member? Probably not, so you would be guilty of not believing in freedom of speech and expression, right? Google is basically private property, and they are well within their rights to determine what people can and cannot say on their property.
I am stuck at work and cant watch and get the details but i hope it gets sorted out. maybe if everyone vows to send a feed back to you tube every few hours concerning this we can get them to restore the channel.
+swampratt36 This was his latest post 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 will keep you posted via Facebook here and the Hickok45andson channel. I have communicated with RUclips via email this morning, and hopefully, we'll be able to get the channel back up soon. I had just posted a new video. ALSO: please stay tuned here and at the Hickok45andson channel on RUclips for any information. I cannot answer all the questions, of course, that are flowing in. I'll just have to keep you updated here as we know anything. Appreciate all the expressions of support. Thanks.
The reporting at my magazine, Guns.com, says that RUclips has suspended Hickok45 because his postings and ads were appearing on Google+, even though he doesn't use that site.
His channel appears to be back up, but his videos don't come up in RUclips searches. Search "S&W 686" or "S&W 686 hickok45" and his videos aren't listed in the search results. Oh, and fuck Google.
After I watched one pro gun-ban video by hickok45 (the one with his son), I abandoned hickok45. But 1st Amendment suggests no one should be banned on the "platform used for mass outreach with information".
I've ordered 6 guns from buds only 1 issue of the complete wrong gun being shipped but was fixed and given a 50.00 credit for the b.s . purchased colt 308 mod carbine and received a marlin 22lr ..... I can see how they'd mix that up ?😳
The funny side of this is that Google was pushing Google+ on every single RUclips user when they took over, and now they're basically saying he's wrong to use them as if they were one service.
On FB he said it is a misunderstanding with google plus. He said he was unaware his videos were being posted to google plus. He and RUclips are trying to work things out.
Hickok45 posted a video last night. Between that vid and when I went to watch it this morn, his account was suspended. I hope he is just going through technical issues because frankly, there are other channels that are more controversial than his that are still up.
Dude I love your gun channel I check it every day . I don't always agree with you but you still entertain me. Thank you keep up the hard work doing good
+TheYankeeMarshal YM....... This is video is great but unless your not up on current events we just got ass raped by the Obama two days ago. The NRA AND THE GOA nothing!!!!! Our gun community leaders like you and others NOTHING!!!!! Sir we are under attack rally the troops. Rand and Cruz and Trump..... yeah we just got raped but vote for me and I'll make it better. I've done my part before and after e-mail and fax to about 25% of congress men and woman. You have a powerful voice... please use it.
Kay..... I'll go sign up for my sexual reassignment surgery and join Everytown for Gun safety. "If we can save one child." R U cool with obama by passing congress? You and you're buddy gonna save all the babies and make the baby jesus giggle?
BurnThePope0514 If we can save one child.... it will be worth it. 70% of NRA are pro back ground checks... Ru in the 70%? Do you wanna help Bloomberg and hilray end the violence?
His Facebook said Google+ is moe sensitive about gun postings than RUclips and had not realized all the videos was posted on Google +.. .. Yes. They suspended his account over guns. And yes I'm cancelling my damn red subscription. Right damn now.
+CDubs HasIt I couldn't imagine that seeing as there are multiple fireams communities on Google + that have thousands of members (I mean it's google + it's not like there'd be millions)
+Disappointed by Humanity it really is better with no commercials as well as being able to leave the app open and listen while doing other things on your device... It keeps working in the background no matter what your doing. I love that feature. That coupled with absolutely zero commercials is totally worth the 12 bucks.
CDubs HasIt I have ad blocker and ghostery for all my computers and my phone. I know it's better without ads, so I don't think that's a good reason to buy into YTR. I'll grant the running in the background thing for the phone though. I hate having to pick reddit or youtube on my phone. Still, I don't think it's worth $12 but meh, to each their own.
Hey the Yankee Marshal - been watching you a VERY long time- maybe because you're a Disney fan - but I concur with you after listening to Fox and many other 's ... I hope it is a glitch...
Reasons why Google might have removed his channel (If they did it intentionally) 1. Advertising for Buds(A specific retailer) 2. Not Region Locked. A lot of countries do not permit any type of gun media. 3. No age restriction applied. Channels about vaping and home brewing have been shut down because they did not apply an age restriction. 4. Misleading/False descriptions and key words to gain traffic. Posting a video about Cooking and putting it the Video Game category would be considered misleading by google, or Making a video about your toilet paper and Tagging it "HOT NUDE GIRLS" would also violate the terms. Just my guess with the limited info we have.
Makes me wonder how many other channels they will take down. YM when you look at the "About" on your channel there is a Google+ link and it takes you to Google+ where your vids show up. Seems that is why they took down Hickock's in the first place.
The Hickok45 channel is still there all you have to do is go to hickok45andson and go to his channels. hickoks is still there. when i post this he put up a vid 8 hours ago. about a .380...
Seen some of your live chat recordings. I do follow you on Facebook. How do we find out when are where these chats are so that we can listen and participate? Thank you.
Hickok45 is down again 8 pm, 8JAN16. Or at least I canno call him up. Anybody else see this? Please correct me if I'm wrong. As if this is TheYankeeMarshal's fault. ;)
+TheYankeeMarshal Yeah, I know, but it was apparently a temporary suspension. If his channel was deleted, terminated, or any of the other panic words people have been using, he wouldn't be back. And I seriously doubt that giant RUclips bowed to the wishes of outraged gun nuts and reversed their decision. It would be nice to know more, like any communication he had with them or whatever, but I don't see him even addressing it on his channel. Logically, if this were about advocating guns, there are a lot of people far more extreme in that than Hickock45. The whole scenario that Hickock was terminated for being a gun channel and RUclips caved in to public outrage and restored him just makes no sense. I hope he'll let us know at some point. Thanks for all you do.
+TheYankeeMarshal OK, so Hickock and son finally addressed the situation. For 25 minutes they yakked about the situation without giving any actual information. Some kind of problem with Google+ but we have no idea why. And the stupid damn dog made all kinds of distractions. Apparently, no big conspiracy, but nothing concrete.
Check his Facebook page. His videos were also posting on Google+ (which he didn't know was happening). He's talking with Google now and will get it back up as soon as he can. Meanwhile there's still his other channel Hickock45&Son. Calm down people the big bad government isn't going to war with the youtuber gun folks.
Hickok45 remains "terminated" on Saturday 09 January 2016. I found Hickok45 when I was looking to buy a revolver - based upon Hickok45's review there is now a Smith & Wesson Model 13 heading to my FFL dealer. Around the same time I found this: "The purpose of the Second Amendment is to enable the American people to resist government tyranny" - Judge Martin Jenkins, 9th Circuit, San Francisco.
Is he back? I'm in the UK on an Android phone and I can see his RUclips channel. I see a video of him reviewing the RM380. BTW one of the first things he says is "Thanks to Bud's shop" :-)
Maybe his suspension hasn't made it over here in the 3rd world. The irony that a gun channel that is blocked in US is visible in the most anti gun country in the world
Have you ever considered doing a Yankee Marshall and son(s) channel like Hickok did? No shame in co opting a good idea. I think many parents would appreciate hearing the opinions of younger shooters on what fire arms and firearm activities and what not are appealing to that age group. Though I suppose that would be a big challenge as that age is just as diverse as any other.
+Joe Friday i know that, but why would it matter is the point im trying to make, who cares if his vids are on google+ its actually good for google+ cause he gets a lot of attention on his videos
+Gun Collector007 I don't remember him saying "and take down youtube channels starting with Hickok45" in his speech. This is just a coincidence, no need for foils hats.
***** I assume you mean ITAR and how it could "gag" discussion on firearms. Seeing as you have to go VERY far down that rabbit hole to get there, and try to find a court to uphold this vague regulation, I don't see any government trying that. Tin. Foil. Hats.
I figured you or Yeager would be first to go... in all seriousness, not only is it bullshit they took him down for political reasons, but his channel was probably the best one-stop library for any gun you want to look up and that is akin to book-burning.
+Milsurp Mike that's probably why they took him down, he's got so many subscribers and he's not the type to bitch about politics, he just gives you the basics on guns...In a way that's a bit scarier to them
+Milsurp Mike If they were banning gun channels I think ruclips.net/channel/UCzNN5amXsxsGzuehTXUYTrQ would be first to go.
+Ash Fin has nothing to do with it.
Account was filter banned.
+Sarin Highwind And being filter banned means what exactly?
wildcat19671 The filter looks for malicous posts or what not.

No argument on any of those points from me.
hey thanks for the reply TYM! Follow you for your very honest and critical reviews...
He is back and for some time now. Google was giving him some petty problems and those are all fixed.
That face when you're a full grown man with a beard, but you're only 5'6"
+TheYankeeMarshal you look just like a homeless guy on the side of a freeway offramp near my town.......is it you? could it be you?.......

I watched a Hickock45 video just about an hour ago. Are you sure he is gone?

He's back. thanks for the hard work ym
its working from my subscriptions page
+shread802 nope not found anywhere
I didn't know what was going on because he showed up on my sub list.
it appears to be a sporadic problem then
+shread802 he's still there right now for you guys?
LOL The thumbnail/title screen is PERFECT. Sums up everyone cackling this morning about Hickok45.
I'm a fan of BOTH "The Yankee Marshall", AND "Hickok .45". And I learned recently on "The Yankee Marshall" that there was an issue with "Hickok .45" still being available to view on the Net!!!!

Google is basically private property, and they are well within their rights to determine what people can and cannot say on their property.
I noticed that the O'Reilly Factor of Bill O'Reilly is also unavailable on RUclips. Sounds like a server problem or computer glitch of some kind.
google took it down for "violations of policy" and "complaints" but there was such an outcry that they are putting it back up
Maybe it's just in the U.S, because here in Australia we are still getting him. In fact last post was 9hrs ago on a Remington .380
I am stuck at work and cant watch and get the details but i hope it gets sorted out. maybe if everyone vows to send a feed back to you tube every few hours concerning this we can get them to restore the channel.
The flannel shirt and wallet chain comment was funny AF. Thank you, after a long week...I needed that shit.
all people have to do is read his Facebook for the information on what's happening.....
+swampratt36 how unfortunate......
fuckin HATE Facebook
+swampratt36
This was his latest post

+Andrew Warren good to know his son's channel is still up.
+gunz-n-gadgets I won't touch facebook with a 50 foot poll. Care to fill me in?
yea it seems like they would have shutdown fpsrussia before Hickok so im thinking its something else

Oh, and fuck Google.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: FUCK GOOGLE PLUS!!!!
Also, I am just pissed that accounts like these can just disappear with no warning at all. Respect your customers, Google.
I found his channel. I went through my history, the video was still there and the link to his channel worked.
hickhock45 seems to be back, before I even heard, but, how come I don't know about your email address? iv wanted to ask questions before.
+Mike Warren my e-mail is very easy to figure out.
TheYankeeMarshal TYM@TeenageMutantNinjaHookers.com?
After I watched one pro gun-ban video by hickok45 (the one with his son), I abandoned hickok45. But 1st Amendment suggests no one should be banned on the "platform used for mass outreach with information".
It's down again. BTW, where's the aforementioned revolver holster vid? I'm not afraid to admit I'm addicted to holster porn & I need a new fix.
I've ordered 6 guns from buds only 1 issue of the complete wrong gun being shipped but was fixed and given a 50.00 credit for the b.s . purchased colt 308 mod carbine and received a marlin 22lr ..... I can see how they'd mix that up ?😳
I see he's back now, but if you ever come across a RUclips video with information you just can't live without, download it while you can.
You , hickok45, and gy6 are my favorite channels! UST throwing that out there!
Just*
Hey Yankee Marshall, what happened to Hickok45?
The funny side of this is that Google was pushing Google+ on every single RUclips user when they took over, and now they're basically saying he's wrong to use them as if they were one service.
Just visited the Hickok45 channel and it was up.
Thank you. Wallet chain. I also hope Hickock45 will be back soon but thank you very much for the laugh.
On FB he said it is a misunderstanding with google plus. He said he was unaware his videos were being posted to google plus. He and RUclips are trying to work things out.
His account is back up but he doesn't appear when searching for his videos.
Hickok45 posted a video last night. Between that vid and when I went to watch it this morn, his account was suspended. I hope he is just going through technical issues because frankly, there are other channels that are more controversial than his that are still up.
Everything appears to be normal now - I assume you will be taking some credit for that.
+capq57 Taking some credit? I am pretty sure I single handedly saved his channel.
+TheYankeeMarshal You and that Chiappa semi-auto EDC.
+TheYankeeMarshal with out a doubt you saved his channel and a kitten trapped in a tree all in the same day.
+weilki451 Actually, I put the kitten in the tree.
+TheYankeeMarshal That's some cold ass shit. I hope it was only because it was an executive order.
so where is Hickok 45?...
don't forget the Subaru wagon to go with the flannel and chain drive wallet
Dude I love your gun channel I check it every day . I don't always agree with you but you still entertain me. Thank you keep up the hard work doing good
YM that's a cool shirt where did you get it. is that some kind of vinyl sticker or is it a patch.
I just got done watching a video on Hickok's channel. Obviously he got the situation corrected.
Glad you were able to take care of this ym...thanks!! :)
YM makes a video and bam he's back. Like magic!
Y.M. you are a great gun channel. Thanks for all your work and videos.
I always wondered why you are not into rifles. Like AR'S and AK'S. It would be cool to hear your thoughts on some different brands.
one of the funniest videos in a while
I have heard you talk about buds gun shop twice now? WHAT did they do to you?... I have never ordered from them
Its fine.. He is back.. Check out his facebook.
Thank God He's back. Is he on full30?
i saw on facebook that youtube deleted his channel for quote "countless violations" but quietly and quickly re established it.
+Life & Times of JCM Thanks to me no doubt.
+TheYankeeMarshal YM....... This is video is great but unless your not up on current events we just got ass raped by the Obama two days ago. The NRA AND THE GOA nothing!!!!! Our gun community leaders like you and others NOTHING!!!!! Sir we are under attack rally the troops. Rand and Cruz and Trump..... yeah we just got raped but vote for me and I'll make it better.

BurnThePope0514 If we can save one child.... it will be worth it. 70% of NRA are pro back ground checks... Ru in the 70%? Do you wanna help Bloomberg and hilray end the violence?
His channel is back up. 1.7 million subscribers.
We want to know where is Jimmy Hoffa, what is in that barrel in your garage?
As of now (8:05 Australian Eastern Time Zone), Hickok45 is off the air again. Something fishy going on here.
watching hichok 45 is like to go for a shoot with good old dad dad or grandpa and let you explain the things from him
Hey Charlie Manson look alike your radio face is still perfect after 30+ hours.
His Facebook said Google+ is moe sensitive about gun postings than RUclips and had not realized all the videos was posted on Google +.. .. Yes. They suspended his account over guns. And yes I'm cancelling my damn red subscription. Right damn now.
More sensitive. *. Damn I cannot type worth a fuck today.
+CDubs HasIt Why the heck did you sign up for red to begin with?
+CDubs HasIt I couldn't imagine that seeing as there are multiple fireams communities on Google + that have thousands of members (I mean it's google + it's not like there'd be millions)
+Disappointed by Humanity it really is better with no commercials as well as being able to leave the app open and listen while doing other things on your device...

CDubs HasIt I have ad blocker and ghostery for all my computers and my phone. I know it's better without ads, so I don't think that's a good reason to buy into YTR.
I'll grant the running in the background thing for the phone though. I hate having to pick reddit or youtube on my phone. Still, I don't think it's worth $12 but meh, to each their own.
Hey the Yankee Marshal - been watching you a VERY long time- maybe because you're a Disney fan - but I concur with you after listening to Fox and many other 's ... I hope it is a glitch...
I'm confused. His RUclips channel is up right now. I watched his video posted 'today' (jan 6th). was it down?
Reasons why Google might have removed his channel (If they did it intentionally)
1. Advertising for Buds(A specific retailer)
2. Not Region Locked. A lot of countries do not permit any type of gun media.
3. No age restriction applied. Channels about vaping and home brewing have been shut down because they did not apply an age restriction.
4. Misleading/False descriptions and key words to gain traffic. Posting a video about Cooking and putting it the Video Game category would be considered misleading by google, or Making a video about your toilet paper and Tagging it "HOT NUDE GIRLS" would also violate the terms.
Just my guess with the limited info we have.
Makes me wonder how many other channels they will take down. YM when you look at the "About" on your channel there is a Google+ link and it takes you to Google+ where your vids show up. Seems that is why they took down Hickock's in the first place.
HE'S BACK UP ,SO YOUR'E NOT KING...SORRY.
The Hickok45 channel is still there all you have to do is go to hickok45andson and go to his channels. hickoks is still there. when i post this he put up a vid 8 hours ago. about a .380...
....Ok, I stayed till the very end - something, apparently I have never done.....Or you added something New!
DONT ever change that! Love it! :)
You made me laugh. I spilled my coffee on my pants.Thanks YM
I have no idea what is going on in this video because hickok just uploaded a video and ive seen a few new videos in the past 2 weeks
He just put a video up 10 hrs ago, what are we talking about?
Seen some of your live chat recordings. I do follow you on Facebook.
How do we find out when are where these chats are so that we can listen and participate?
Thank you.
+Christopher Hall gunchannels.com
thanks
How is this guy so serious and factual but yet so funny
legit laughed out loud at the "flannel shirt and wallet chain" bit
So, what happened to Hickok45's channel? :-)
I was really hoping you actually changed that description on your channel
So...do you know what happened to Hickok45?
I've seen some Hickok videos uploaded recently where his son was doing the video. I figured this may be due to health reasons
looks like his channel is back up ! working for me !
Hickok45 is a former Sheriff's Deputy, RUclips is not going to shut down his channel. (which is up)
Hickok45 is down again 8 pm, 8JAN16. Or at least I canno call him up. Anybody else see this? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
As if this is TheYankeeMarshal's fault. ;)
His channel appears to be back up and running now!
"Flannel shirt and a wallet chain"
HAHAHAHAHA OMG THATS FUNNY
Where is it? I can't find it in search
I don't get it. What is he missing from?
Funny, i just checked Hickock45s channel and it seems to be up and running as usual. Where did you hear this rumor?
+Michael Thompson It wasn't a rumor. He was deleted for a time.
+TheYankeeMarshal Yeah, I know, but it was apparently a temporary suspension. If his channel was deleted, terminated, or any of the other panic words people have been using, he wouldn't be back. And I seriously doubt that giant RUclips bowed to the wishes of outraged gun nuts and reversed their decision. It would be nice to know more, like any communication he had with them or whatever, but I don't see him even addressing it on his channel. Logically, if this were about advocating guns, there are a lot of people far more extreme in that than Hickock45. The whole scenario that Hickock was terminated for being a gun channel and RUclips caved in to public outrage and restored him just makes no sense. I hope he'll let us know at some point.
Thanks for all you do.
+TheYankeeMarshal OK, so Hickock and son finally addressed the situation. For 25 minutes they yakked about the situation without giving any actual information. Some kind of problem with Google+ but we have no idea why. And the stupid damn dog made all kinds of distractions. Apparently, no big conspiracy, but nothing concrete.
Check his Facebook page. His videos were also posting on Google+ (which he didn't know was happening). He's talking with Google now and will get it back up as soon as he can. Meanwhile there's still his other channel Hickock45&Son. Calm down people the big bad government isn't going to war with the youtuber gun folks.
Hickok45 remains "terminated" on Saturday 09 January 2016. I found Hickok45 when I was looking to buy a revolver - based upon Hickok45's review there is now a Smith & Wesson Model 13 heading to my FFL dealer. Around the same time I found this:
"The purpose of the Second Amendment is to enable the American people to resist government tyranny" - Judge Martin Jenkins, 9th Circuit, San Francisco.
I just watched a video on his channel, is he back already?
Keeping inline with the questions asked by the viewers, Do you know if James Yeager likes eggs over easy?
+louie000007 I do not know. He never sticks around long enough for breakfast.
Hickok45 lives one county over from me, like probably 20 minutes away.
Is he back? I'm in the UK on an Android phone and I can see his RUclips channel. I see a video of him reviewing the RM380. BTW one of the first things he says is "Thanks to Bud's shop" :-)
Maybe his suspension hasn't made it over here in the 3rd world. The irony that a gun channel that is blocked in US is visible in the most anti gun country in the world
His channel is working fine now. I can access all of his videos
Have you ever considered doing a Yankee Marshall and son(s) channel like Hickok did? No shame in co opting a good idea. I think many parents would appreciate hearing the opinions of younger shooters on what fire arms and firearm activities and what not are appealing to that age group. Though I suppose that would be a big challenge as that age is just as diverse as any other.
He's back up. His channel just popped up in my feed.
he said it's a misunderstanding with google +, he was unaware his videos were also being posted to google +, he and RUclips are working it out.
+gunz-n-gadgets why would google+ care? honest question not trolling
+nathan campbell not exactly sure, but that's what he said on his Facebook.
+nathan campbell cause google owns youtube and they are tied together with the one sign in thing
+Joe Friday i know that, but why would it matter is the point im trying to make, who cares if his vids are on google+ its actually good for google+ cause he gets a lot of attention on his videos
+nathan campbell Google is the parent company of both Google+ and RUclips
You can take this video down now. He has been back for a couple days now.
I also hope it's just a technical problem. funny how it happened right after the president made his new rulings.
+Gun Collector007 aye
+Gun Collector007 I don't remember him saying "and take down youtube channels starting with Hickok45" in his speech. This is just a coincidence, no need for foils hats.
Did you see the part where I said "I hope its just a technical problem?"
***** I'm glad he's back up, Yankee and Hickok are the two best channels on RUclips. Very interesting about the Hillary commercials,
*****
I assume you mean ITAR and how it could "gag" discussion on firearms. Seeing as you have to go VERY far down that rabbit hole to get there, and try to find a court to uphold this vague regulation, I don't see any government trying that. Tin. Foil. Hats.
I just watched his new video on the Rem 380, so don' know what your talking about.
The beard is getting wild, brother!
"Flannel shirt and a wallet chain"... Lol
His channel is down again...
Nice hat... where did you get that?
And yes it is funny.
