#310- Digital Terrorism: The War on Gun Content
In this urgent episode of the Guns Podcast, host Brent Wheat addresses the ongoing and undeclared war against firearms content creators on a well-known major video platform. Brent details the recent community guideline strikes leveled against the podcast for older, previously compliant videos—a tactic he describes as "digital terrorism." He breaks down the timeline of events, including a strike for a historical review of a Single Action Army revolver, and explains how retroactive enforcement creates an impossible environment for creators to navigate. Beyond the immediate channel strikes, Brent analyzes the broader strategy at play: removing financial incentives to dry up content, which ultimately aims to starve the gun culture itself. He highlights the glaring double standards where mainstream media outlets can skirt rules that crush independent gun channels. Finally, Brent discusses the future of the show, the potential move to alternative platforms like Rumble and issues a call to action for listeners and politicians to protect free speech regarding the Second Amendment.
Key Takeaway
- Brent's definition of "digital terrorism" and how retroactive enforcement of new rules on old videos traps content creators.
- The specific timeline of strikes received by the Guns Podcast US in 2025.

- The "death penalty" policy for channels receiving three strikes in 90 days.
- The necessity of political pressure from the administration and Congress to ensure fair treatment on the major platforms
- How to find the Guns Podcast if it is removed from the current video platform.

131 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,240 It's like they keep moving the goalposts, 132 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,960 not only between the one yard line and the 50 yard line, 133 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,600 they're moving it clear out of the stadium 134 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,320 and then painting it to look like a fire hydrant. 135 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,720 So that's kind of the problem that we're facing. 136 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,880 And it's, basically the idea of how can you comply 137 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,280 with guidelines when they're constantly changing without warning. 138 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,760 So as I said, I call this a form of digital terrorism. 139 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,120 You don't know when or where they're going to strike next. 140 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,320 And here's something interesting that we noticed. 141 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,120 Also, we only started getting this really heavy scrutiny 142 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:18,720 after we crossed the 100,000 subscriber threshold. 143 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,320 Apparently they don't care about the smaller channels, 144 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:27,520 but once you cross that, that's, kind of a big tipping number for this platform. 145 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,680 So you hit 100 K and suddenly you get a new set of eyes. 146 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,840 Even though they, they treat everyone equally. 147 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:35,400 Right. 148 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,240 So, you know, here's what really twists 149 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,600 the knife is the fact that they're also very arbitrary in this. 150 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:46,200 I personally went and found a wired magazine video 151 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:51,120 that has 2.3 million views where they literally build and fire 152 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:56,400 a 3D printed gun during a story about a recent famous accused murderer. 153 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,520 Apparently. That's fine, I guarantee you. 154 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,400 If we had even talked about it, we'd probably get flagged. 155 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,480 But they actually do it on camera, demonstrated it, and it's okay. 156 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,480 But yet, of course, like I said, a video 157 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,200 discussing the historic Single action Army revolver strike. 158 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,240 So, you know, it's it's pretty clear. 159 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,920 Some channels get a pass, others get crushed. 160 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,280 And if you're a gun tuber, that's what they're going to crush. 161 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,760 If you're, part of the mainstream media and you hold 162 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,040 certain left leaning views, apparently you can talk about anything, 163 00:09:31,560 --> 00:09:34,200 firearms related in the guise of education. 164 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,840 It's just the people that actually know what they're talking about 165 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,400 aren't allowed to. 166 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,000 So is there a solution? 167 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,320 Well, here's the hard truth. 168 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,560 There is no solution.

218 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:19,560 Well, 219 00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:23,720 if we move to another platform, we lose a huge chunk of our audience instantly. 220 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,360 So what are gun tubers supposed to do? 221 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,200 I do think there's one possible remedy that might possibly work, 222 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,960 and that is by calling on the administration and Congress 223 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,560 to actually follow through on all those campaign promises 224 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:40,920 they made, and do more to protect the ability 225 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,920 to speak freely about firearms on this platform and others. 226 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,480 The thing is, legislation is not going to solve the problem. 227 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,520 As we've seen many times, these giant companies 228 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,320 can always find a loophole, or they simply just ignore the law until 229 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,600 finally the government takes them to court and, slaps them around a little bit 230 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,040 and threaten and threatens them with losing a bit of their revenue. 231 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:06,680 So suddenly they see the light and they decide to, abide by the law. 232 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,640 But I think that's, pointless. 233 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,240 Basically, passing a feel good law isn't the answer here. 234 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:14,000 What?
