Many of us here have been watching the story about the potential German paintball ban with concern. -> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8067908.stm

Now here is your opportunity to speak up.

Sign the petition here.

If you don't read German, we have English instructions in the next post.


Details of the petition (in German):
https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/index.php?action=petition;sa=details;petition=4145


Text of Petition (translated roughly from German):
The German Bundestag should reject the proposed ban on sports such as Paintball / Gotcha Laserdrome.

A ban of these sports is pure politics as symbol, without any benefit. For paintball and Laserdrome are two players or entire teams in a sporting contest against each other. The act of killing is just as abstract as in chess or fencing. Similarly, the fencing will be needed here too, thanks to protective clothing "ungefähliche 'weapons at each. This is just as immoral as children's outdoor water pistol games or "Cowboy and Indians."

We need 50,000 votes within the next 3 weeks. Everyone can vote, no matter which nationality.

Instructions are here:

this is the official petition which is confirmed and authorised by the German government. If we reach 50,000 votes they need to review the next try of banning paintball and invite the spokesperson of the German Paintball Community. Therefore this is more important then ever.

Ban is avoided for now, but important German politicians still want to ban it. Therefore we need as much pre-work as possible. This can affect all of us ballers, think of the Millennium and so on. So please do support us and vote.

Thanks!
