They should also ban any sort of movie clip / trailer showing movie guns. Just in case it saves one life.

Default guns guns guns

The scape-goat to society's problems!
Meanwhile, we'll still have fully armed action heroes, and video games that put killers on an alter!

Youtube has been heading down this PC path for years now. They really like those cat videos though so that's good.They have been trying everything to get gun related stuff off there.

I wonder if some of these decisions are less of a moral stance, and more of a legal one.
Maybe it's because their lawyers are advising them "drop any gun related videos, so you never can get sued by victims of gun violence who say the bad guy was educated by videos he watched on your platform".

I worked at a place a few years ago that wouldn't even let me access this site due to it's "violent content".

No, it is not because of legal implications.

If you take a look at the bullets (no pun intended), it doesn't appear that what you're describing is going to be an issue. Hickok45 isn't going anywhere.
