A replacement for r/firearms. From the subreddit - "Discuss firearms, politics, 2nd amendment news. We value freedom of speech as much as we do the right to keep and bear arms. Posts must be somewhat related to firearms." I removed the ~~must comply with Global Reddit Rules~~, because we don't take nicely to totalitarianism here.

This is big news for the firearms and 2A communities in social media, case in point Hunter being charged.
