Can you promote in r/firearms?
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 and must comply with the Global Reddit Rules.
The short answer
Engage as a community member first, provide helpful non-promotional answers, and if you must mention your product/company do so briefly for transparency and avoid links or overt solicitation.
What works here
- Answer questions and give expertise about firearms
- Participate as a genuine, regular community member
- Share non-commercial, on-topic content (safety, news, discussion)
What gets posts removed
- Posting product launches, demos, or recruitment/solicitation
- Advertising with links or obvious self-promotion
- Offering or soliciting transactions for firearms, ammo, parts, or 3D files
Where this comes from
No self-promotion spam
Rule explicitly bans using the subreddit as a billboard for YouTube/Instagram/apps and warns of bans if not an active, genuine participant.
Nobody cares about your app
Sidebar explicitly discourages posting apps/tools for tracking guns/ammo — direct discouragement of product posts.
Prohibited transactions
Transactions of firearms, ammo, parts and 3D gun files are prohibited; soliciting trades is forbidden.
Posts must relate to firearms
Content must be firearms-related and comply with global rules — promotional content that isn't substantive may be removed.
