I am still away on business, so I have not been able to record any new casting, reloading, or shooting videos, but I have been posting “teaser trailers” for the videos I took down in response to YouTube’s new Policies concerning content featuring firearms. Some folks are starting to believe that such videos are going […]

The YouTube strike against the GuyGunTV channel has been removed, and his video has been restored. He just posted this update about the situation: Also, the Brownells, Inc channel has been restored.

It’s like Mr Bacon can read my thoughts. In the following video I recommend a few additional steps for us to support each other in this fight. I think we may have a window here to make ourselves hard to ignore. YouTube seems to be in flux; they seem to be going in opposite directions […]
What is the future for gun channels on YouTube? Is firearms content going to be okay to post? Where can we turn to if YouTube turns us away? What should we be doing right now?

I found this in my email this morning: “Hi Loads of Bacon, As you may know, our Community Guidelines describe which content we allow – and don’t allow – on YouTube. Your video Casting Session for the Powder Coated Cast Lead Hollow Point Bullet Test was flagged […]
