“Under no pretext"

Rules (Under review):

1. NO BUYING, SELLING OR TRADING of guns or accessories. Take that to Reddit and /r/GunAccessoriesForSale or Armslist.com

1. Any post or comment advocating illegal action will be removed and the poster warned. A second infraction will result in a ban.
1. Unironically suggesting the SKS as a usable rifle in the 21st Century when there are things like the AK and AR that cost only a bit more might result in a ban, it depends on how we feel.
1. Discussion of hunting is acceptable but please put "CW: hunting" in post titles. Debating the ethicality of hunting is also fine, but keep it civil and don't derail other people's threads.

I have been told this recently by a local who owns many guns, but I figured Muricans here would be able to verify this

Tranquilizer dart guns are not common. But they are essentially the same as pellet guns, just with larger bores, obviously. These can be very quiet, depending on how powerful they are. You could definitely still hear them at a few meters away, but the sound would not be recognizable as a gun.
