Facebook Censors Pro-Gun Video Mocking Weapon Hysteria

Facebook censored a pro-gun video of a user mocking the hysteria around how “easy” it allegedly is to convert rifles to automatic fire.

The video can be seen here, but can’t be embedded because it “may show graphic violence or gore.”

The censored video doesn’t show violence or gore. It shows Facebook user Andy Orlando disassembling a rifle and handgun while joking about converting them to automatic fire.

In reality, he made the weapons completely useless. He pulled the slide spring out of his Sig handgun, and removed the bolt carrier group from his AR-15 rifle. The AR-15 is 100 percent not capable of firing a shot, and the handgun could perhaps get one shot off if a person could hold the slide shut.

It’s unclear why Facebook tagged this as graphic or containing gore. The two most realistic options are lots of people complained, and the other is the social media company made the decision to censor everything about automatic weapons following the massacre in Las Vegas, regardless of whether or not it’s a joke.

People better wake up to how dangerous Facebook (and Google, Amazon) is. They push liberal philosophy and try to diminish and hide the opposing opinion.

Soon to be shown on the House and/or Senate floor by some ignorant, gun-grabbing congress critter bent on showing the world how incredibly easy it is to have weapons of mass destruction!

Facebook, I assume, gets reports from users...

If enough users report something as disturbing or reckless, Facebook takes action...

I’ll bet it was both sides of the political spectrum reporting the post...

Damn! That was easy!

It works for Glocks too! I just converted my G42 .380 ACP in 30 seconds after watching this video. I'm on the phone with ATF right now waiting to register my new full auto on the phone. Those jerkoffs have been transferring me around the office for the last 30 minutes.

Any ways Ill give you a range report later.

Wait a minute, someone is at the door.

I’d laugh if I didn’t think some loon would take this seriously and use it in their next Senate subcommittee hearing.
