Youtube has increasingly been kowtowing to Congressional pressure (and internal hoplophobia) to shut down gun related channels. No instructional videos, no sales (including links), no livestreams, no 3d-printed guns:\

I wouldn\'t be surpised if the latest shootings drive youtube to ban them entirely. So, if you\'ve got some favorite videos, I recommend downloading them now. Youtube-dl is a good command line tool for this purpose.\

I also encourage you to encourage your favorite producers to move to LBRY, which has a strong free speech policy (and can\'t be easily censored, even if the creators wanted to). They provide free tools to easily sync your Youtube channel with your LBRY channel.
