Paintball guns in the hands of idiots!

[ChiZZerS]

look every one!

a paintball gun is a paintball gun!
it fires paintballs.......it is a form of fire-arms....

and as far as it goes you cant expect to sell paintball guns without people misusing them!

its just stupid... no matter what anyone says, paintball guns will always be misused!.......my point is.. if it wasnt a paintball gun it would be somethig else!

the only way you will stop it is to stop selling paintball guns altogeher!

now what i say is forget about it!
there is nothing you can do to stop it!

so just let all the low-lifes do their **** and cause trouble!
let them get the blame!

after all they didnt get a paintball gun cuz they enjoy playing paintball!..... they but the thing to **** about with!

as far as ime concerned... if people see on tv a bunch of dicks shooting paintball guns at cars ect...i wouldnt think oh look at how awful paintball is!..... i would say look at them dick-heads thinking their clever!

so sit back and lets hear no more!

Is it just me or does anyone else find this post particularly ironic?

 

[Buddha 3]

Great rant...but why?

 

[L J]

why is it always sephiroth that makes the threads that could be reall intellectual, but turn out to be crap

and yes, the ironyis quite amusing, although lesser beings like him wont understand it

Oh i don't know I did chuckle at eminem shooting the cop car in 8 mile [I know I'm a year late but I've had it on dvd and only just watched it and I'm the first to rant about bad publicity]

And here we have another 'classic' post from Sephiroth

does sephiroth remind you of a younger certain forum member at all?

He's great, brightens my day up every time he posts.

The problem could easily be sorted.

Ban the sale of "entry" level markers in England..... you know, the real cheap crap............... how many of these incidents are actually caused by real markers? not a lot, it's plastic crap sold in "army and navy" stores. Also, don't let them be sold outside of a real "paintball" shop.......... that will cut down on the impulse buying idiots.
AND............. this is the good one........... ban the sale of paint to the public........ sites and paintball shops only...... if you can't buy 100 paintballs in a high street "toy" shop, then you can't fire them at the public.
I know they'll still get hold of them, but removing the convenience will reduce incidents. (And who has a legitimate use for 100 paintballs at £12 anyway?).
You never see these piece of crap markers at rec-days or tourneys....... so where are they being used?
I doubt the few people in England with enough private land to play paintball "back yard" style actually account for the volume of plastic pump markers sold.

Sephiroth
Try dropping the gun thing, people will only relate "paintball GUNS" with firearms stigma cos of the word GUN, but if you use paintball MARKER as Jose did then most of the time people ask "whats one of them!!"

Drop gun from paintball and peeps will start dropping the stigma.

Can someone help me down of me soap box, its too high
