He's posted some info here:
https://www.facebook.com/Hickok45-264641617269/
"Apparently, Google + is more sensitive about firearms related postings and such. I never use Google+ and did not even realize the videos were being posted over there, I guess. I will keep you posted via Facebook here and the Hickok45andson channel. I have communicated with YouTube via email this morning, and hopefully, we'll be able to get the channel back up soon. I had just posted a new video."

Regards,
Greg

There's some talk that he was hacked and porn was uploaded.

Guns are better than porn to some of us.
Especially as we age.
My wife once accused me of assault with a dead weapon.

Having viewed many of Hickcock45's videos, I don't ever recall him getting "political". I'd be surprised if it were a gun issue since there are many, many gun related videos in You Tube. I hope You Tube isn't going in the same direction as eBay.

Me too!. Sadly over the next few years the US societal attitude IS creeping that way.

I think it may have been because of Google's no advertising policy. He may have mentioned Bud's Gun Shop, who sponsors him, to often.

[Bawanna]

I did not know Bud's sponsored him. That's pretty smart on their part.

I haven't watched him enough to ever hear him mention that but I enjoy his video's immensely. Be a blast to hang out with that guy and who wouldn't want to have his range. Wicked cool.

I knew that Bud's sent him guns for evaluation. If you look at Bud's auctions they have Hickcock45 reviewed guns available.

You're right, I've never heard him say anything like " buy from Bud's" But is just the mention that Bud supplies him enough to cause this ?

Yet this is only MHO

[Longitude Zero]

IMHO most likely it is the fact that Google+ is virulently anti-gun and some of his videos were, without his knowledge, being shared on Google+. He doesn't really advertise per se but he does occasionally mention his suppliers.

[Scarywoody]

The channel is back up! The explanation should be interesting.

[Bawanna]

Now that you mention that I have seen those at Bud's. Guess I just never made the connection.

Hickock45 has done off site shows from Bud's Gun Shop.
