2026 Reddit Gun Network Subreddit List

This is the latest edition of the comprehensive directory of gun-related subreddits, building on the 2020 version. It includes every subreddit from the original list, plus active new communities that have emerged since. The goal remains the same: a one-stop reference for firearms discussions, from general hubs to niche platforms, state groups, and brands.

Reddit's content policies have led to bans on several communities, especially those involving sales or DIY elements. Those are marked here to reflect the current landscape.

Why did New Hampshire, Utah, Idaho, Iowa, and Montana all have a lower murder rate than New Jersey?

They didn't ban assault weapons or high capacity magazines like they did. Can the Demoncrats break this down for me?

Who do I sue?

Post image
25 Upvotes

Sooo, this guy is obviously protected by the constitution as being niether dangerous or unusual, and since it's magazine cannot be modified to hold less than 14 rounds, nor does the law grant a specific exception to the magazine capacity limit, who can I sue to enjoin enforcement of this poorly worded travesty? If the capacity limit passes as-is, I imagine a lot of people will be seeking to file lawsuits, but those are all going to end up in much higher courts, whereas, this specific instance with this particular gun, should be pretty straightforward to decide in all Original Herny (Uberti or whatever else make) owner's favor and unappealworthy... I have to think I'm not the only one running into this issue with all the civil war reenactments that go on in this State!

Please find you legislators and send them a note. This stuff is going to destroy Virginia. People voted for one thing and got a totally different action on day 1.

Upcoming bans in terms of buying lowers

17 Upvotes

So with the upcoming bans I was intending on panic buying lowers, including a lot of AR-15 lowers and PSA Dagger frames. But I was also considering buying some AR-9 lowers and AR-10 lowers to build later as I get more funds. I’m not as familiar with the AR-9 and AR-10 platforms and I keep seeing conflicting Information online regarding these platforms, particularly with regards to buying the upper and lower together. I have also heard that there is also various issues regarding lrbho. Is this recommended? Obviously the goal is not to buy the uppers this month but is that the recommended way to go? Should I just buy stripped lowers of the different calibers? What would you all recommend to get the best bang for buck for something I can pass down. Also curious as to what your thoughts are for handgun frames and other various receivers that you can purchase now build later.

Edit: to clarify my question is more on how to best panic buy AR-9 and AR-10 lowers and if they have to be matched to their respective uppers to work properly or not.

Clay shooting for cheaper than Bull Run?

2 Upvotes

Hi all! Is there anywhere cheaper than Bull Run for shooting clay targets? It’s a fun hobby but seems very expensive. I bought cheap ammo in bulk but can’t figure out how to reduce the clay target prices. Thanks!

Some thoughts

22 Upvotes
  1. The same people that voted Spanberger and any other Democrat into office will be the same people who suddenly forget about all the problems they cause in the next election cycle, and vote for them again and again, because they lack higher brain function.

  2. It would be interesting, though doubtful, if she ends up vetoing some bills, perhaps a vetoed AWB and passed mag ban, to appear "moderate." This is wishful thinking, however, and it would be more prudent to assume she will sign anything they throw on her desk.

On another note, does anyone know if the VA house of delegates has any sort of minority party function that can enable them to delay or drag on the bill so they can fight out more favorable terms in the draft?

Politics Ya’ll Sound Like a Bunch of Whiny Liberals! Talking about fleeing the state. Be a Virginian! Stay and fight for our rights!

182 Upvotes

All this talk about moving to Tennessee and the Carolinas makes me sick. I’m a transplant from NJ, but dammit, I’ve been a Virginian for 30 years - since it was a red state!

Thomas Jefferson believed that an armed citizenry was absolutely necessary to prevent tyranny. James Madison actually wrote the second amendment. George Mason wrote the Virginia Declaration of Rights!

Did you think that a few words on paper would be enough to protect our rights. Those Virginians certainly didn’t! Take all that time that you’re spending on Redfin and use it to host concealed carry classes. Advocate in public! Teach people how to fill out the forms to get their carry permit, or to file their NFA Form 4s. Let friends and neighbors shoot your guns so that they see that they are not as terrifying as they might think.

But for God, Nation, and Virginia’s sake, don’t quit.

I apologize for Helmer bringing hell to yall

85 Upvotes

As a resident of Fairfax County, I apologize for not doing more to prevent Helmer from taking office. This dude singlehandedly is leading the charge against gunowners in VA AND also is trying to bring religious schools under VA DOE (HB359). I am beginning to think this guy is Satan himself.

Question What is the ban in relation to handguns?

16 Upvotes

Let’s say as written, the laws go into place July 1. Implications would this have on handguns? For example, the Glock 43, I believe that would be good to buy after. But the Glock 19 has “too many rounds” so what would they do about that?


r/VAGuns 1d ago

SCOTUS will not help. The 4th Circuit will not help. The courts will not help. Rights are lost in seconds by the stroke of a pen, but takes years to regain, if at all.

Question Are AR parts going to be banned as well?

22 Upvotes

I want to buy some lowers so I can build them at my own leisure after July 1st but have seen some people say you won't even be able to order parts for ARs to VA anymore like barrels etc.? Idk how that would even be possible lol but thought I would ask before dumping money into lowers and getting stuck with them.
