Don't want to live on this planet anymore. Got some great deals on r/gundeals over the years.

it's not just transactions between users. r/gundeals posted deals from retailers. Prop got a lot of press via that page.

also banned pages involving beer or cigar transactions.

Youtube told the Forgotten Weapons guy that he had to blur the swastika on a Nazi flag logo he had for a German WWII era gun he was talking about (he always puts up the flag of the country of origin of the gun he talks about). It's getting beyond absurd.

Sucks. I have found amazing deals from various retailers on r/gundeals. Never bought anything directly from anything, but they would constantly post Gift Card promotions and great deals.

Gonewild still good? If so, I'm good.


Heads up for anyone that researches, definitely NSFW.

Certainly seems coordinated. I'm not a redditer.

They think these things will go away. They will just go elsewhere.

I'd keep an eye on voat. The r/gundeal was a decent sub with good deals....most of the deals posted here were found on there.
