I don't event think it's a 1st Amendment issue. It might be an antitrust issue, especially if all the mainstream providers are in lockstep to deny access to certain categories of users. It seems to me that for the most part, antitrust has been gathering dust for quite a while. 1st Amendment and property rights are supreme IMO, but denying access to entire classes or categories of people who are complying with all applicable laws and regulations is distasteful in the least and IMO, downright dirty.Yeah, I'm sure that would pass First Amendment scrutiny.
Could this be a case of not seeing the trees for the forest? Please, people, take a moment and think about that.
Some incredibly dumb stuff has happened under Yeager's auspices. There have been a couple of incidents that concern me with him. One was the damage to a vehicle or tire (I forget which) that happened at a class his school was conducting, and two, was the incident involving the man in the wheelchair.
Bottom line for me is that Yeager is dangerous, and people should be made aware of this when they take his class. Now, having said this, do I think he should get the ax from youtube? No.
Just the same, I don't see this as the start of a trend. The camel's nose argument is a logical fallacy in most cases. Just because Yeager is banned does not mean that youtube will ban all gun channels.
Does this situation with youtube bear watching? Of course it does; just don't panic.
Three people are on my "Do Not Want" training list, Sonny Puzikas, Gabe Suarez and James Yeager. There are just too many quality training providers to deal with discredited providers. JMO, YMMV
Gunbuffer, in case you don't know, you're a bit of an ***
Not much I want to hear from you.
Think it's best to try the ignore button.
You have something in common now with Yeager.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
