YouTube Suspends Major Gun Manufacturer, Bans Instructional Gun Videos

I missed that part in the U.S. Constitution that said driving was a right.

Edit: substitute for driving, operating a motor vehicle, horse and buggy, bicycle, etc.

 

[people]

Well, let's put it to the test:
In order for you to drive, is anyone obligated to provide you with anything to do so?
If so, then it's a privilege.

Is anyone obligated to provide me with anything to drive? Nope, so it is a right. Same can be said for the internet and youtube.

Do antigunners have a right to post on this forum?

Yes they do have the right to post here. Infact there are many posting here every day. There is a reason why I have my signature.

Why does it have to be in the constitution to be a right? Horses were the way to travel back then. The constitution does not cover horses at all.

I spent the evening trying out https://www.full30.com/ and I liked it much better than Youtube. Better video quality, no stopping and starting, and the advertisements were at least interesting to me. Try it.

You guys can discuss rights and such, but I will not use or support sites or businesses that are attempting to take away right given to us in the Second Amendment of the Constitution by any method. I will l not fund them. This stuff is not annoying, it is serious. So, I encourage you all to resist by seriously watching where you spend your money and time. I don't even use Google for a search engine.

You do realize that for you to exercise your 'right' to post on the Internet and YouTube, someone has to create for you the Internet and YouTube. How would you exercise that right if YouTube shut down. As to driving: do you have a 'right' to an automobile, or the privilege of possibly buying one? How did you come by the road you drive on; build it yourself?

If you are a baker, you do not have the right to refuse to sell a wedding cake to a gay couple.

Really? Does forum management have a right to ban people from their own forum? What if the forum didn't exist-how would someone exercise their right to post here?

Yes all of that was created before.

See red above.

Yes you do. It might end your business but you do have that right. Personally I would just make the cake and charge then 4x the amount. That is just me.

 

[ED3]

Yes all of that was created before. And they granted access to it. If YT goes away then no one will access it. That business would have closed down. Same goes to if they remove my access until then I have the right to use and publish to it. I can still use it even after they remove my right to publish to it. Same goes for this forum. I still have the right to use all the bandwidth I can use from here even if I can not post anything to it.

Lets look at the roads. Do you really need roads? Nope. Driving really sucks long term with out them but that is why we pay taxes. They are the "citizens" property not the governments! You need to remember that. The gov needs to remember that also. It is a right to use them not a privilege to use them. If it was not a right it would be physically impossible to access a road with out paying. I have seen thousands of US citizens and tons of illegal aliens walking on the roads. The same can be said to driving there is nothing that physically stops anyone from driving. As long as you have a working car.

I'm afraid your perceived view of 'rights' and mine are far too different for me to continue to attempt any reasonable dialog. Good luck with YouTube.

On a side note, I have been following this guy for several months now....very very skeptically, and haven't found anything that I really could take him to task about. You might want to check him out. He has been demonetized by youtube which is a really good sign in my books.

Some of his earlier vids are very powerful also. Sorry to be off topic%#@&

This is exactly what I was talking about when I said we have already lost the fight on firearms. It is very sad that you can not see the freedoms you have already lost.

I'm with you, Baker has a right to refuse just like utube or even your car dealer has a right not to sell to . We the real people need to keep that right

Alex, I agree with your sentiment, but I think that it is more Libertarian than Conservative.

I find more that is appealing in Libertarianism than in either major party’s ideology, but don’t agree with all of it, either.

Libertarianism is more aligned with true conservatism than any party I know of.

 

[ED3]

Libertarianism is more aligned with true conservatism than any party I know of.

It certainly isn't the republican party anymore.

 

[Flouncer]

First, I'm not trying to start anything political here, so if this is "out of line" or if it gets derailed please delete it.

I wonder if this will effect guys like Eric Cortina and his instructional videos....

I'll go out on a ledge here, again and call BS on this whole thing. If you go to the link, they, Youtube haven't changed anything. Spikes Tactical, F-em. If they are selling bumpstocks or anything else that reeks of altering or changing a legal weapon to auto fire, they they should get the boot. Looks like a simple attention grab on their part. Let's wait and see April 1, 2018 if anything has changed. All my build didoes are still there. Ok, way too serious. Spell check just changed my misspelled videos to dildoes. Can we all sit back and cool the heck down. This isn't anything people. You all sound like a bunch of old ladies bitching about ants in the kitchen . . . And yes, this is a political thread.

I googled " larry potterfield midway youtube videos" and got 62,000 hits. Not wasting anymore time on this waste of time.

It does sound like you have lost. Go ahead and give up if you think that way.

This is exactly what I was talking about when I said we have already lost the fight on firearms. It is very sad that you can not see the freedoms you have already lost.

Sadly us firearms owners can not come together and stand up for each other. Too many are ok with giving up bump stocks*, magazines that are far more rounds than they need, easily accessible machine guns, other things on the NFA, and hell just the standard paperwork to just buy a firearm. The list goes on and on. We need to stick togeather or your sniper rifle (your bench rest rifle) will be taken away.


* they are completely worthless in my book but you should have the ability to get one if you want.
