It has since been proven that paintball wasn't at all to blame for the attack. However, it shows how vulnerable we really are. What we need to do in the future to preempt this kind of witch hunt mentality is to invite non playing people to tourneys (NOT WOODS REC BALL FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE!!!!!!!! YES IT DOES MAKE US LOOK NON PROFESSIONAL, WARLIKE, AND INVOLVES LOW CALIBER PLAY BY PEOPLE THAT OFTEN DON'T LOOK LIKE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING RATHER THAN PARTICIPANTS IN AN ORGANIZED SPORT!) so that they can see that it is an organized, responsibly run sport with rules and direction rather than just random haphazard nonsense, which is how most of them view it now.
