I mostly lurk under a different handle. I was reminded that people have different motivations for owning guns when Reid Henrich's video about being squared away for classes to include electronic earpro, no reloaded ammunition and no certain aftermarket parts got posted in /r/firearms with a lot of the comments being mixed to negative. I didn't remember seeing any discussion about it here at the time.

I've found reddit to be a great resource.
I have previously participated in firearm-centric forums, and I think that reddit's broader audience serves my other interests better than firearm forums. The gun subreddits, in general, aren't as good as dedicated firearm forums when it comes to guns, but for more diverse topics it is better.

Gun forums such as this are people who like guns and also do other other stuff; the gun subreddits are people who do other stuff and also like guns. You may have to wade through a lot of baloney to find a piece of steak, but the discussions are interesting. It’s an insight into the mind of the “average gun owner”.

Subreddits I find useful:

https://www.reddit.com/r/guns/ , obviously. It's usually self post karma whoring but I do participate in the monday and thursday help threads.

https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/ , Mostly a cavalcade of lowest dollar garbage, but they did get the scoop on the ONG 870s before arfcom.

https://www.reddit.com/r/weekendgunnit/ , memes and titties.

https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/ , for PC nerds who are also cheapskates.

If there's a subreddit for your municipality, there might be some useful intel to be had.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Justrolledintotheshop/ , Car mechanic follies.

Also for the lulz:
