Welcome to GunsAreCool, the subreddit where we discuss the epidemic of gun violence in the USA and the real solution that is gun control - whether gun advocates like it or not. Unlike other subreddits we enforce strict rules to ensure that they cannot summon all their friends and try to shut down discussion with tired cliches they learned from the NRA. Black comedy and satire are allowed and encouraged. We run a crowdsourced Mass Shooting Tracker, and have a cool wiki you can check out.
