Here is the other side to this coin...in a lot of towns and cities...if you fire off a paintgun you are charged with discharge of a firearm within city limits. Thus...paintguns are more and more being considered a firearm. AND more and more crimes are being made a felony every day. It is a felony to import the wrong type of plant from one state to another (not drug related). Soon they will begin using all of this against everyone to try and strip you of your rights to own firearms (and eventually paintball guns).
