i I just checked YouTube too.

[brutal]

Chatter on FB is that HE shut it down because he was having technical difficulties admin/replying, etc.

Hmm

[DEAGLER]

I heard Google shut it down and YouTube just reinstated. But let's see.....

Well he's back up. https://www.youtube.com/user/hickok45

He didn't even know he has a Google+ account, and it was Google itself that was putting his YouTube videos there. I think the consensus is that Google+ shut him down for promoting violence or something... which is hilarious because he is the biggest promoter of legal and safe gun handling on youtube.

#FreeHickok45 is trending big on Facebook, which is drawing a lot of attention to the issue. Big win for Hickok45 and gun enthusiasts everywhere.

this would not jive with his own statement on FB, or the fact that it said his account was suspended for "violations"

saw this yesterday, never can be sure with the titles they put on these news blogs "he shut down his site" or "NSA RAID ON HOUSE, BLOWS UP EVIL GUN SERVERS!!!"

If you have seen one of his videos you have seen them all. Just insert a different firearm.

And different opinions and insight. His appeal comes from just being a normal guy with an awesome shooting range. No high speed, low drag tactical stuff.

And they didn't take down gunsmoke channel? someone needs to re-think things.

I find it funny that the pro-gun groups want to turn this into a 'YouTube hates the 2nd Amendment' type call to arms. He received strikes for in-video advertising which is prohibited by the YouTube terms of agreement. It was cleared up. He's back. YouTube isn't after your guns.

The dog is the best part of the video.

Word in the technical world is that someone (a fan) at Amphitheatre Parkway went and help "fix" the issue by talking with someone else and explain their "mistake".

But its just urban legend for now.

But how can anyone take him seriously w/o the emblems of a HSLDMF'er? Close-cropped hair or shaved head, numerous tats, wrap-around shades, a one-size-too-small knit shirt of some sort of synthetic fabric, some facial hair (preferably a Pappy Yokum-style beard), and the obligatory cargo pants, all lend credence to those who sport them. Sheesh, man, get a clue! ;)

I know, it's hard. [LOL]
