Most "death by firearms" are suicides, and suicides mostly don't need instructional videos. The rest are mostly murders, and there's nothing to suggest that gun videos on Youtube make people more or less likely to murder.

There's no good reason to think that this step by Youtube will help with the "public health" side of the issue at all; it's fairly transparently about an animus against guns qua guns.
