Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

This is ridiculous. Guns cost hundreds of dollars.

[–]negative_epsilon 2 points3 points ago

If you have a legitimately bought gun, they're not asking you to turn it in. This is for people who have stolen guns or found guns. They'll give you the gas card so you can turn the gun in, no questions asked. Done.

[–]jimtracysmyhomeboy 0 points1 point ago

How do you steal a gun from someone that had the gun? Whoever had the guns isn't doing it right. guns guns guns guns

[–]PatheticReward 1 point2 points ago

A week later you're arrested because the gun you traded in for gas was used in an armed robbery.

[–]PulpFission[S] 1 point2 points ago

you must know the town?

[–]PatheticReward 1 point2 points ago

Nah... it just seems like something someone would do if they wanted a whole bunch of guns.

[–]prematurity 1 point2 points ago

Usually they're melted down/shredded right away. Perfect way to dispose of evidence.

[–]axisofelvis 3 points4 points ago

In other news, carjackings rose by 1000% this month.

[–]martellus 3 points4 points ago

50$ is a terrible price. I would just stand there buying shit for cheap and sell it for massive profit, after an inspection of course.

[–]d1z 3 points4 points ago

Reward criminals with paid evidence disposal while pushing unconstitutional and ridiculous gun laws which only limit the actions of law abiding citizens?

Seems legit.

[–]azazelsnutsack 2 points3 points ago

Having been through south Memphis, there could be a lot of full tanks of gas this week. There won't be, but there could be.

[–]RapistNextDoor 1 point2 points ago

As someone who lived there for 12 years....I am not surprised in the least.

[–]N2KTachko 0 points1 point ago

if they just sold the guns they could get more

[–]ashleymcgall 0 points1 point ago

As a Memphian, I am in no way surprised.

[–]BTAA4TD 0 points1 point ago

So I can buy some old Lorcins at a gun show for $35 and turn them in for $50? I wish I lived in Memphis.

[–]jimtracysmyhomeboy 0 points1 point ago

If you have a gun that you're not supposed to (which I assume this program is for) you probably don't need the $50 gas card.

[–]Gavinardo 1 point2 points ago

They did this in Portland, OR recently too. The buyback program offered a $75 gift card to a local department store chain in exchange for any gun turned in. No questions asked.

I heard some local gun collectors actually went to the buyback too and met folks in the street, offered higher prices and managed to walk away with great collections of guns.

" Do you accept cash or card?" No Sir, the only way is paying with a gun. If they can pay with a gun, there are eventually some guys who will pay with the gun!!! But with bullets instead of guns.
