German Gov To Ban Paintballing After Shooting

Posted by samzenpus on from the we-all-fall-down dept.

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."

    No the water wings don't work. You need to wear life vests or other DEUTSCH LIFEGUARD APPROVED flotation device when having soup. Water wings are not approved.
