Disclose and Risk Deletion: YouTube’s Branded Content Trap for Firearms Creators - Ammoland.com
YouTube’s new Branded Content Policy creates a direct and potentially devastating problem for firearms creators: disclose a manufacturer relationship and risk having the video removed, or conceal that relationship and risk running afoul of federal deceptive-advertising law.
The policy does not prohibit disclosure. It requires it.

Highland Park Lawsuit Subpoenas James Reeves, Treats Gun Reviews as ‘Advertising’ - Ammoland.com
A lawsuit attempting to hold Smith & Wesson responsible for the crimes committed during the 2022 Highland Park parade shooting is now reaching beyond the firearm manufacturer and into the gun media.
Firearms reviewer and attorney James Reeves disclosed on X that he was served with a subpoena demanding years of records and analytics concerning Smith & Wesson and reviews he has produced.
The most troubling part for firearm journalists and content creators is how broadly Reeves says the subpoena defines advertising. According to Reeves, the plaintiffs’ definition includes “even unpaid organic social-media content.”
In other words, an independent review of a lawful firearm could be treated as corporate advertising merely because the reviewer received, tested, or discussed the product.
That is a dangerous theory with implications extending well beyond Smith & Wesson or the firearm industry.

Delaware Judge Permanently Blocks Ban on Possessing and Making ‘Ghost Guns’ - Ammoland.com
A U.S. District Court judge in Delaware struck down part of the state’s ban on privately made firearms (PMFs), which Delaware calls “ghost guns.”
Judge Maryellen Noreika entered final judgment in Rigby v. Jennings. Delaware’s bans on possessing and self-manufacturing or assembling untraceable firearms (and unserialized unfinished frames and receivers) are permanently enjoined as Second Amendment violations. The commercial distribution rules and the CAD/3D-print file ban survive.
On Oct. 27, 2021, John Rigby, Alan Knight, and the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) sued Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings, challenging the constitutionality of H.B. 125 (2021)—the “ghost gun,” unfinished-frame, and 3D-print regime under 11 Del. C. §§ 1459A and 1463. On Sept. 23, 2022, the judge granted a preliminary injunction against the law’s regulation of possession and manufacture/assembly of PMFs. The provisions banning distribution and digital instructions remained in place. In March 2024, both sides moved for summary judgment.
