Mr Long-Collins runs the English Shooting YouTube channel, which reviews legal firearms and promotes the sport of 'practical shooting.'
According to The Times, in a message to his 17,000 YouTube subscribers, Mr Long-Collins said: 'I was told that due to repeated comments from other people on the videos, [the police] felt that the channel was a forum of extremism and it was promoting views that were not in line with legal firearms ownership in the UK.'
He told the paper: 'The main issue was a video that I made around the Paris attacks where I advocated the French to be able to use handguns for self-defence because of the frequency of attacks that were happening at the time.'
Tony Hill, the head of firearms licensing at Hampshire police, said that when certificates were revoked it was 'because we have real concerns that public safety could be at risk.'
Kind of sad when defending yourself from terrorists is considered an extremist view that puts the public at risk.
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. . . Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them."
