Edwin Walker - Youtube & Guns

YouTube has been making some changes as of late to make its content more accessible for all ages. But in doing so, it’s creating a level of censorship that’s hard to ignore.  The popular website’s owner, Google, revealed a change in policy taking effect on June 18th. With it, “certain content” surrounding the removal of safety devices will be entirely removed, while showing the use of homemade firearms, automatic firearms and certain firearm accessories will be age restrictive.  The Gun Owners of America (GOA) recently made a statement on the matter. “Restricting access to adults only—for content that depicts wholly legal and constitutionally-protected activity—is wrong, and it aims to push a sinister narrative to minors that firearms are evil,” said Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President. “In turn, as younger generations come of age, they will not question or push back on further violations of our Second Amendment rights.”  “Alvin Bragg and his anti-gun friends have been aggressively pressuring YouTube to censor and directly prohibit certain content related to guns for years now, and sadly they just succeeded and free speech has once again become the victim,” said Aidan Johnston, GOA’s Director of Federal Affairs.  “Congress must demand answers from YouTube on how influential DA Bragg and gun control groups were in facilitating this change in policy and determine whether the Biden Administration or it’s White House Office of Gun Control was weaponized to force the censorship of Second Amendment content.” Edwin is a Houston-based attorney with Walker & Taylor, a full-service criminal and civil defense firm that focuses on gun law cases.  He's become a voice on Second Amendment issues in newsrooms from coast to coast.  The firm has a very popular YouTube channel called Armed Attorneys that routinely gets 10s of thousands of views per video
