###Violating the following rules will result in an immediate ban (zero tolerance)

No memes, phone/PC screenshots, AI generated BS, image macros, rage comics, blogspam, facebook/instagram/twitter/4chan/tictok content, petitions, low-effort links, or the like. No shitty phone videos of nothing happening. If nothing is happening in your video, why the hell don't you just take a well lit photo like a civilized human being, FFS?

Yes. Your photo is a link post. Just do what the bot says.

No politics except in the Bi-weekly politics threads. r/guns is for talking about guns, not gun issues.

No posting personal information (doxxing).

No fiction crowd sourcing. We are not your free research team.

Links to PDF files are allowed but must carry a warning.

No talking about about illegal firearms modifications or advocating illegal activity.

No conducting firearms-related transactions. Don't even joke about it. No fundraising.

No direct links to products for sale. Also, no we don't know where to find that thing you're looking for in stock, so don't ask.

No surveys, polls, GoogleDocs etc without pre-approval.

No advertising accounts.

Obvious troll accounts will be shown the door.

If you make a post, stick around and participate in your thread. Ghosting your own post will get you a timeout.
