Bloke on the Range YouTube Account Terminated

If you go around showing people how to do things like reload ancient cartridges it could make the Tower of London a target for terrorists who could take it over and make themselves a limitless supply of ammunition for the exhibited guns. All they would have to do is smuggle in some gas cylinders, a furnace, some lead moulds, patching material, tallow, cartridge paper, powder, percussion caps and wad punches and we would never be able to dislodge them.

The channel is back up!

Never ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity. This just seems like an error.

We're with you Bloke. Brownie points for your stylish rage control too - a great advert for gun guys.

Ah, further investigation revealed his channel was flagged for spam or deceptive practices. It's not doubt an erroneous removal, and Bloke should fight it back. It really does sound like the automated system has been taken advantage of once again.

Of all the channels to go for, BotR seems like a really poor choice. It never met any of their criteria for removal, especially without warning.

I think the best revenge would be to invite her _5_ kids to summer camp &amp; teach them to shoot so they drive her bonkers at home asking for a Red Ryder bb gun at Christmas! ;-D

Common! That little town the SPLC labeled as a "hate group" because two guys on a forum they hate claimed they had lunch there is a real threat to the country! How dare you wrongthink!

Bitchute, Full30, Patreon, now GunStreamer. YT is creating their own barbarians who will invade &amp; sack their "Rome." Yes, it's hard to grow a channel w/o YT's pervasiveness and tracking of viewers' interests, offering them "you might likes," but the reality is that those who are legitimately interested in the shooting sports are going to move away from YT [be chased away is more like it] and *WILL* find the options out there on the 'net that will scratch their intellectual itch. In the meantime, the industry as a whole has to support each other by posting "I also follow..." links to other channels on their Facebook pages and YT accounts [while still allowed to have them.]

"Gun Control" doesn't mean what you think it does. That is why you are for it. You enjoy the history and the technology so pretty soon you will realize just how wrong and dishonest "gun control" is about everything.

Poorly configured automated process? You mean the SPLC employees they use as content monitors.

Censortube is automating itself into a fatal downward spiral. By the time they figure out what they have done to themselves they will hopefully be claiming to have bananas or apples or something. "This is YouTube". (James Earl Jones voiceover used without permission.) I am ready to flush my account and walk. Maybe we need a French Style one day strike to get their attention? If enough people stop watching and uploading in solidarity for a day maybe they can be made to care.

Total absolute bullshit! Increased my Patreon support Keep making your great informative videos !!!

I don't think it's political to be upset about this. Perfectly legal rational behavior and banned. You gotta believe this is gonna happen to you too at some point whether on purpose or by accident. It's bad business all around and unfortunate you guys have to waste valuable time struggling to stay partners with a business that cares so little for you. I will write a calm complaint to add one more voice to the buzz but I do so with little hope

Unfortunately, the actions and history of the youtube CEO, Susan Wojcicki, suggest she is not a friend of the first two Amendments. I expect the "automated" removal of channels will continue until all wrongthink has been eliminated. She appears to be actively involved in targeting thoughtcrime as she no-doubt approved the new anti-gun "community guidelines", so she's unlikely to fight to stop it or stop the harassers.

It is most likely a Anti Gun / 2nd Amendment troll that Flagged you. Rob at AKOU Local 47-74 actually has in the comments section of one of his videos a troll stating exactly what they have and will continue to do to his channel just because he posts videos about AK variants that he tests. According to YouTube, that is harassment but guess what? I really doubt that they will do anything to the harasser. Typical Progressive thinking; Do as I say, not as I do and you will be fine.

sounds like someone got a bug up their ass, and just decided to make an example of him. i believe in gun control (please don't freak, not here to argue), but this isn't it. this is dumb.

What the hell? That dude is the mellowest gun guy on youtube!

Peter Starr

F*** YouTube. This kind of stuff is getting old. How can such a tame channel get targeted like that. I sent a very long very expletive-filled message to them. God knows they don't care. If I could boycott them I would....but they have a Monopoly.

Thank you for that.

I wrote YouTube a short, polite note after I saw Britishmuzzleloaders’ post about this earlier today. It’s important that as many people as possible let them know that we are willing to move on from them. YouTube is doing this stuff to hang on to advertisers. It’s imperative they be made to balance that concern against the loss of eyeballs for those advertisers.
