The German Paintball Community asks for your help!
Our government is considering a crackdown on paintball after the Winnenden school massacre, which saw teenager Tim Kretschmer shoot 15 people and then himself. Kretschmer hasn't played paintball - ever.
Governing parties in Germany say that the game of paintball a malign influence because it "simulates killing" and trivialises violence.
German ballers petitioned the parliament (Bundestag) not to ban the game of paintball.
This is where YOU come in ....
