[ Killing shots appear to be silent under the current ruleset, for some presumably unintentional reason. This fixes it, and also allows gun-wielding villagers to fire into the air, should they wish to. ]

In Rule 2.4.3 (Guns and Bullets), remove “and the Mayor shall post a blog entry announcing that a gunshot has been heard” from all bullet points in which it appears, and add:-

In all cases, the Mayor shall post a blog entry announcing that a gunshot has been heard.

Also add a new subrule, 2.4.3.2, titled “Blanks”:-

A living Villager with a gun may fire it into the air by announcing this intention to the mayor. Within 48 hours of receiving such an intention, the Mayor shall post a blog entry announcing that a gunshot has been heard.

And to Rule 2.4 (Items), add:-

A living Villager may drop any item they are carrying by removing it from their inventory.

And repeal the then-redundant “Pouring it Out”.

I think the original intent had been for an announcment to be made that X person was shot, but I could be incorrect :P

Is a dropped item destroyed?

If it’s removed from their “inventory” gamestate with no specific way to get it back, then it’s effectively destroyed, yes.

for .  Firing off blanks is redundant, since you can achieve the same effect by shooting Darknight.
