Here are my prior posts, so new readers can read them in context, as a whole.
Folks, This demonstrates the amount of control the government is increasingly getting over media and social media!
This is not what Freedom loving governments do!
What's embarrassing is the apologists on our side.
When obama was running for president, many here said he cant / wont do anything with guns...
We'll here we are. He's making very dubious executive actions (Not just in regards to 2A), and "We" just keep taking it. Why.... Because they havent outright banned them YET. One more step, just one more, then another....
YES the federal government exerts pressure on groups to influence their policies. Is there a memo telling them to take down Hickok45.... NO, but they use the Agencies of this government to make it clear that you need to care what they think and what you do or you'll run the risk of a costly run in with one of the many agencies... EPA, ATF, IRS....
Some specific examples:
IRS, Targeting of Conservative Groups
EPA – Closure of Lead Smelting, Closure Coal Generators
ATF – Redefinition of “In the Business”, Stag Arms, Fast & Furious,
I didn't directly link this to youtube. I was making the examples of Indirect (No memo) pressure from the federal government that does influence policies in the private sector/s. I specifically went through the trouble to say (Not all 2A)
I find it ironic that as a moderator you chose to engage in this way. I made a statement of my opinion (I will say fact, but you can argue that). You responded with calling me, and others Embarrassing. Every statement you've made has been a false restatement of my position and followed by criticism of that false position (Straw man).
