You can be sure that any that aren't will be banned shortly thereafter. This isn't going to stop. Any videos you need, go ahead and download now while you still can. My hope is that another viable video streaming site picks up these channels and becomes a robust competitor to youtube. I have no polite words to express my feelings on this subject further.
There is an effort now afoot to do just this.

They discuss a tool called youtube-dl that makes downloading videos a breeze.

Re: Youtube Suspends Gun Manufactuers

Note: All links are to Reddit. These threats should be clean, but may have some adult language...

There's been notice.

Also, its' not just YouTube.

As some of you may not be aware, Reddit has updated their content policy to prohibit transactions involving a variety of items including firearms and ammunition:

As /r/Gundeals is an aggregation of links to third-party vendors, we believe we should be in compliance of the new content policy as transactions are not being conducted directly on the Reddit platform via /r/Gundeals. Obviously, the admins have decided otherwise.

We have set up a new subreddit, /r/GunDealsAnnouncements, to provide further updates while we argue our case to the admins.

A subreddit dedicated to swapping brass was banned as well. Swapping. Empty. Dirty. Brass. Because it's (not) ammunition or a firearm.
