Wasn't there one of these where a guy made 30 shitty guns out of steel pipe, then literally used the profit to buy an actual nice gun?
Thus brings up a key point of property law: you can't prevent people from owning things that are simple enough. Hence why no matter how strict you make gun laws you'll still have to deal with a black market of shotguns and blunderbusses and anything else that can be made from common materials. To try and control the materials themselves would be a ridiculous treadmill.
Here's the video Bradon Herrera got suspended over, where he recreates the weapon that was used against Shinzo Abe. Even made his own black powder.
YT really wasn't happy.
Which is kind of weird, since he's manufactured actual machine guns before.
It comes off as a little macabre to exploit the man's murder just after he dies by recreating the weapon for profit.
I disagree. He had mostly positive things to say about Abe, he' a gun channel, and that gun was in the news. I would have done the exact same thing in his position; it's an interesting question to see just how easy or hard it is to create that exact style of gun. It was more about the gun than the death itself.
But, if it makes you feel any better, YT throwing a hissy fit and suspending him probably cost him $20k in missed revenue, so he certainly didn't profit. As he said, he created the most expensive pipe gun in history.
I never said I agreed with the ban. I went and saw the video on Odyssey, and agree it's no big deal. I was just supplying a possible explanation for what happened.
