GOA, the new rules, which restrict certain 2A content to adults only, are not only misguided but also part of a broader agenda to demonize firearms and law-abiding gun owners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Erich Pratt, Senior Vice President of GOA, didn&#8217;t pull any punches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRestricting access to adults only\u2014for content that depicts wholly legal and constitutionally-protected activity\u2014is wrong, and it aims to push a sinister narrative to minors that firearms are evil,\u201d\u00a0said Erich Pratt.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn turn, as younger generations come of age, they will not question or push back on further violations of our Second Amendment rights,&#8221; he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"

Director of Federal Affairs, accused Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and like-minded anti-gun advocates of pressuring YouTube into making these changes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAlvin Bragg and his anti-gun friends have been aggressively pressuring YouTube to censor and directly prohibit certain content related to guns for years now, and sadly they just succeeded and free speech has once again become the victim,&#8221; he lamented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johnston is pushing for Congress to investigate how much Bragg, gun-control groups, and the Biden Administration&#8217;s White House Office of Gun Control contributed to YouTube&#8217;s decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, YouTube and its parent company Google revealed that starting June 18, they will enforce the updated policy on all existing and new content.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-youtube-policy-changes\">The YouTube Policy Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Content showing the use of homemade
