Big tech’s war on the firearms community continues. This past weekend, the Brownells YouTube channel was deleted without warning. It then reinstated the channel the next day after serious pushback from the manufacturer and its fans.

The controversy started on Saturday afternoon when the 80-year-old, Iowa-based retailer announced on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram that its YouTube channel—launched 10 years ago and with more than 67,000 subscribers—were deleted by the video-sharing site.
