German Gov To Ban Paintballing After Shooting
whoever57 writes "In response to the school shooting in March in which 16 people were killed, the German Government
plans to ban all games in which players shoot at each other with pellets. The rationale for this is that 'paintball trivializes violence and risks lowering the threshold for committing violent acts.' Fines could be up to 5,000 euros."
But I will say I find this entirely in keeping with the policy of the German government. They have similarly ridiculous laws in place regarding video games and other entertainment, so while this new one seems utterly idiotic, it is at least a logical extension of what they've already done.
At this rate, they'll be banning soccer next. Wouldn't want those hooligans "lowering the threshold for violent acts", now, would we?
Erotic is when you use a feather. Exotic is when you use the whole chicken.
Psssst! Hey man, want some splat? I'll get you freaky painted.
2 EUR a ball, 20 for a baker's dozen.
Just don't share a dirty gun with your friends.
What are they going to do next, demand that we remove the ovens from the kitchens of the citizens?

But if they no longer have any projectile weapons, next time they won't manage to conquer anyone except France!
France surrendered preemptively after reading this.
Anybody want my mod points?
Not only that But I would definitely start playing more paintball if they illegalized; it illegal things are 10 times funner.
douche
Also, in paintball, bushes are cover :-).
Make you wear a helmet while driving your car.
Other than this text, there is no discernible information contained in this sig.
Just don't mention the war...
Guns? Cars? Hookers? Cigarretes? Diseases? Stupidity?
First they came for the paintballers, and I did not speak up, for I did not play paintball.
Then they came for the hookers, and I was unable to get a date...
Learn something new.
First they came for the paintballers, and I did not speak up because I was not a paintballer...
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Yeah Animals is my favorite Pink Floyd album too. Honestly dude wtf.
The range is measured in feet instead of meters as would be the case with rifles.
So rifles are metric! How very 21st Century, perhaps they're more accurate too!
STOP. You're making too much sense! I just wish a politician would have the balls to actually change things. This war on drugs is such nonsense. If I had to choose between pot, cigarettes and alcohol to have legal, I'd choose pot. It's one of the most benign drugs anywhere.

The German Government plans to ban thunderbolts and lightening, the rationale for this is
that they are "Very very frightening" Fines could be up to 5,000 euros."
