Germany to ban paintball

[AsylumDave]

The attempted links with paintball and shootings are an absolute joke. Last night a 16 year old was shot at a pub down the road from me during a big drug deal that got messy. Obviously if paintball was banned, this wouldn't have happened

Thought I would put up any links to media coverage on the issue that I stumble accross on in this thread - incase its useful to those fighting the issue in Germany.

A earlier BBC article from March after the shootings - says that the kid had depression and the father kept his gun unlocked:

EDIT:

Damn, Nick - would have liked to heard your opinion

Mixed views, positive ones coming from people who are informed and educated about the scene and negative ones coming from people who have had direct personal bad apple experiences with it, are not educated fully about everything, and seem to hold a bit of a grudge - but thats just the nature of opinion I guess
