The issue has more to do with who you are discriminating against. Discrimination against folks because of race, sex, sexual orientation (there are other similar classes) is not permitted as these individuals are deemed to be protected classes. The prohibition against discrimination extends to private businesses who offer their services to the public. For example if I owned a bar here in Florida, I could not have a sign out front that said "no gays allowed" Homosexuals are a protected class. Ditto on blacks etc . . . But I could have a sign up that said "No Auburn fans allowed". Fans of particular sport's teams are not a protected class.
Gun owners are not deemed to be a protected class - in part because collectively, we have such a strong political voice. Therefore, Youtube can single them out for this type of treatment.
Edited to clear something up Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 -- the federal law which prohibits discrimination by private businesses which are places of public accommodation -- only prevents businesses from refusing service based on race, color, religion, or national origin. Some twenty states have passes laws prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation. The state of Florida does not have law protecting gays but most counties and cities in this state do.
Hope this helps.
Fined or sued?
they were put out of business, and made to undergo training....wrong decisions, and this issue will return, and to scotus I think.

In its 2015 decision in Masterpiece Cakeshop, Ltd v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, the Colorado Court of Appeals unanimously ruled in favor of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which sanctioned Jack Phillips, a devout Christian and the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, for violating the Colorado Antidiscrimination Laws (CADA).
His offense: refusing for sincere religious reasons to prepare a custom-made wedding cake for Charlie Craig and David Mullins, a gay couple.
I am waiting on a muslem bakery to be sued for the same thing...

Hey Buddy, thanks for the link here, I like this bunch.
Kasarda’s channel “InRangeTV” has more than 150,000 subscribers and McCollum’s “Forgotten Weapons” has more than 700,000. They both make content that violates the new rules but don’t have plans to change what they are doing.
