Ok, I saw this on PB Nation, and so I searched here but got nothing

Anyways some guy on pbnation said that in Florida, they are trying to get paintball banned, I guess this all came from when some hoolagans were shooting up buildings.  Some judge claims that anyone that plays paintball is most likely doing bad stuff.  I guess a lot of people are pushing for the ban so it looks like it will probably go through.

Any of you know anything about this or is it even true?

The judge is a moronic ignorant fool with that statement.

You see people riding BMX bike all over places illegaly, but there isn't as big a fuss about it.

This is why I said before that we need to form a type of paintball N.R.A., to protect people's right to play paintball and stop paintball from being outlawed, just like what the N.R.A. does for people and firearms.

Not true.

Thats a bad attitude to have towards this, they can ban anything they wan't if nobody does anything to stop them.

How am I having a bad attitude towards it? The bad attitude would seem to be yours.. saying that they can ban it if they want.

They cant ban it, FL has too many fields and too much money invested in it. Too many people put out of business = bad for economy = bad.

I didn't mean a bad attitude, that was a poor choice of words on my part, I meant that choosing not to do anything because you think paintball is untouchable is not a safe attitude to have towards this because there are already several towns in the u.s. that are considering outlawing paintball. And I'm sorry, I did not mean to offend you.

I live in Florida and there pushing it because 11 people were shot in the eye and lost vision when a group a people were riding around with high end markers and freezing there balls. I doubt it will go through for the following reasons:
1. The money as said before
2. The players, Florida is really big on paintball.
3. If it does go through, every baller in Florida is going to rally and get the ban removed.

If it does I'll be really pissed. Living in Florida is bad enough. If they take away paintball, they take away my life.

I say if this goes through we all go to Florida and cause Chaos, then we take whatever state officials in the area hostage. Then we say we'll start killing hostages if they dont remove the ban. That or we just do it the "peaceful" way and protest.

  There is no way that they could ban paintball and shut down all of those fields that are there.  That would bankrupt so maby people it wouldn't be funny.
