Democrats Ask YouTube To Ban Ghost Gun Instructional Videos

Readers have been well informed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is on a mission this election year to attack the gun industry ahead of midterms to please the Biden administration's anti-gun lobbyist and voters. We've told readers the Justice Department is preparing to release a new set of rules this spring to regulate so-called "ghost guns." 

Ahead of the ruling, the federal government is preparing to shut down law-abiding and freedom-loving Americans who are legally (for now) assembling ghost guns in their garages or basements and publishing videos on social media. These unserialized guns spark concern with the ATF because they cannot track them. 

Bloomberg reports Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal, Bob Menendez, Chris Murphy, Cory Booker, and Ed Markey are calling on Silicon Valley's Big Tech to censor anyone who posts a video of a ghost gun. The senators have explicitly called on YouTube to remove all users' videos who post information videos on ghost guns, such as manufacturing and assembly. 

"While we acknowledge and appreciate that YouTube has engaged with congressional staff about this problem and, in recent weeks, removed some of these videos, we are alarmed that an extensive amount of this dangerous content still exists on YouTube," lawmakers told YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki in a letter. They said the measures YouTube have already taken are "insufficient."
