Bad News

We will try to keep you informed, but please make certain you are subscribed to our other two channels. See the links below.

Hickok45 videos are filmed on my own private shooting range and property by trained professionals for educational and entertainment purposes only, with emphasis on firearms safety and responsible gun ownership. We are NOT in the business of selling firearms or performing modifications on them. Do not attempt to copy at home anything you see in our videos. Firearms can be extremely dangerous if not used safely.

I'm just glad this isn't about an health issue.

YouTube lets scam-like ads go unchecked, but regulates firearms companies that do business legitimately.
They are definitely a company with great business ethics.

YouTube 15 years ago: Broadcast Yourself
YouTube today: Broadcast What We Want

[uncleputz]

It's all about trying to control us and what we see and hear.

Sir, I read "Bad News" and immediately feared a health issue. Very unfortunate about your channel, but I am extremely relieved you and your family are in good health. God bless.

I don’t think I’ve seen Hickok look overtly pissed off before.

[MrPureMayhem]

YouTube needs a competitor. The monopoly needs to end and the censorship needs to stop.

[chavitacanta]

Leave and take your 7.82 million veiwers with you ! We Will follow !

[Mrcaffinebean]

Insane that Google continues to screw its content providers.

[GritGrindGrow]

The fact gun channels are being shut down but borderline adult content and OF advertising channels are acceptable blow my mind

[Martiandawn]

When I started watching this video, YouTube ran a paid ad for Urban Carry. I guess the ban on sponsorships for gun-related products does not apply to the ads that YouTube gets a cut of the money from...

[GabeDoppel]

Banning educational videos is crazy, ESPECIALLY with stuff like guns and the necessary safety that it demands. Wow.

[akbychoice]

Pay for Netflix and now everything on it has ads. Time to get outdoors and let the internet self destruct.

[joeyisamazing]

So frustrating that they don’t do anything about scam ads but constantly go after gun channels that aren’t doing anything remotely illegal

[Lft]

Honestly this platform is so big and all encompassing it should be considered a public forum.

[TheComradeBritish]

Retroactive punishment for violations is abhorrent. Who the hell thought it was a good idea?

[Meals]

Big corporations controlling culture. Imagine my shock. 😒

[RayPall]

Wish we could go back to those good old times when YouTube was just a site for people to share their hobbies. Not a bloated ad platform wracked with corporate greed.

[smpinney]

You’re definitely one of my favorites and a great ambassador for the gun community. Stay the course sir.

[Madmech]

Youtube has been going downhill for over a year now. It's corporate trying to ruin it for the little guy.
We stand by you Hickok45!
