If there wasn’t an agenda at Google and YouTube, this would be a simple issue for advertising. Television managed to solve it decades ago, there’s nothing new about matching ads to the content and viewers.
YouTube simply wants there to be zero gun content on their platform, and it’s so damn obvious it’s sad.

I have not used this phrase in a while because I thought we were becoming mainstream. And we are mainstream, we are just not palatable to certain “illuminated” people from the Left Coast and the “Improved” Internet.
We are the New Negroes.
We are not fit to sit at their lunch counters or use their bathrooms.
Fuck them, we are sitting and pissing.
I’ve never seen a gun commercial on cable TV. They consider guns to be as much as sin as cigarettes, porn, and more of a sin than booze. They’ve been playing favorites which is the reason why online advertising is so important. The networks are all based in blue zones and thus staffed by dems not conservatives. It is our only road to seeing what we are interested in and letting other people see it and get interested. We’ve been 2nd class for as long as I’ve lived.
It wasn’t until I started watching the outdoors channels (not just the one called “The Outdoor Channel” itself) that I started seeing ads for guns and ammo. Every now and then, Fox News Channel carries Henry Arms ads. The Blaze (a channel), which is on some cable systems and streams via Roku, and others, runs ads for Henry, Bond Firearms, and they bought some shooting shows for Saturday afternoons.
During the Wednesday Night at the Range block on The Outdoor Channel, they run ads for many of the gun and ammo makers.
During mass market, big network TV? Nope.
There’s laws against cigarette advertising now and booze has strict restrictions on when and how they advertise on television.
There’s no such legal restraint on firearms and ammunition ads.
“There’s no such legal restraint on firearms and ammunition ads.” YET!
But it’s probably coming. With the Bloomberg money and the twisted Mommy’s agenda it can’t be that far away. Seems that every day we move a little farther from sane, reasonable and rational in our society. Our Forefathers for the most part had it right, but the SJWs just keep trying to screw it up….. with an alarming degree of success.
The local TV stations carry ads for local gun and knife shows here, but that isn’t a network thing either.
We really should use the tactics employed by the radical left to gut the NFA. We need to make them decide that giving up key aspects of that piece of Volsteadism is a fair compromise they can live with, an act of generous diplomacy akin to that they eagerly advance to trespassers and invaders currently in their favor (you know who I mean). Once they think it’s their idea, they’ll embrace and market it. May I suggest we demand something worse.
I edited my original comment but after two F5s don’t see the update. It was just this, should it not post: “I’ve been saying something like this for years. Anywhere a 30.06/30.07 sign is posted, it might as well say “If You Are Lawfully Armed, You Are White. No Whites Allowed.”
