I agree, I think that we should form some kind of Alliance of respondible players, like a paintball version of the N.R.A., who whould make sure people know that the markers are safe as long as they are used apropraitly and that its not the markers that comit these crimes but the idiots who pull the trigger, and also this group could do everything possible to make sure that Paintball Markers are not outlawed, Just like the N.R.A. does for firearms.

If the Paintballing Industry were to form an organization like the NRA, we would all have to register our markers as "real firearms" and thats something that the Paintballing Community dont want to happen and that would also give a good reason to the Moms and Dads out there for not letting their sons and daughters in purchasing/using a paintball marker and there would also be an age requirement and a fee to be qualified to get one....

Thats not true, all those laws and requirements are not in place because of the N.R.A., rather, the N.R.A. was created because of them, it is a civilian organization that was formed by responsible citizens to protect peoples right to own a firearm, plus in order for all those laws and regulations to apply to paintball guns, the Federal Justice department has to recognize them as wepons which they have not done yet nor will they do it any time soon. Especialy not Because of an organization formed to teach people the proper use of Markers.

And besides, I'm not talking about the industy forming this, I'm saying that regular responsible players form it.

Those are some really well thought out statements..., but the government is always looking for an excuse to get rid of paintball..., so maybe we SHOULD form some sort of organization...

the first thing that should be done if a organization is made is to stop the
classification of paintball markers as firearms. this classification lumps
the paintballers together with the gun nut crowd, and could be a step
towards getting rid of the violent image.

It should also be noted that this is NOT a new issue. Maybe you were too young to have worried about it in 1998, but since I've been playing since 1989 I can remember it being a topic in the paintball magazines (the only way we heard what was going on in the industry back then besides the local store gossip).

 

Edit - for typos, DOH
