Photobucket has a 'feature' that allows people to 'report inappropriate content'. It is not unreasonable to expect that pictures of guns in the public domain will attract a few crackpot reports which, when exceeding some predetermined level, will result in pictures being deleted.
I seriously doubt that Photobucket has a corporate policy of deleting gun pictures, but I could easily believe that there are a number of anti-gun types that push that report button whenever they encounter a gun picture. That would account for the apparently random nature of the occurrence.
Just keep the pictures in the private section.
