Hi all, as you guys may be aware, our laws over here are the pits, we cant import semi's or travel overseas without running the risk of having our markers taken off us by customs on our return, We need your help, we want to travel, to get teams to go to the world cup, I want a c&c extreme but I cant import one legally.
Just think of it this way, you cant travel from state to state without permits, you need a gun licence, you need to be 18 years old, some states paintball is totally banned, if you see a marker that you like you cant import it.
Now think about that happening in your country.
Paintball in Australia needs your help. We need to change the Federal Gun Laws that are smothering the growth of Paintball in Australia by prohibiting the importing of Semiautomatic Paintball Markers and Components.
It is also this law that NSW uses as its justification for is no new semi registrations.
What can you do about this?
Simple, just spend 10 minutes of your time and let Daryl Williams the Attorney-General know your opinion on this by sending him an email
Email on daryl.williams.MP@aph.gov.au
Please for the sake of Australian Paintball take 10 minutes out of your busy lives and let them know of your feelings. If enough of us let our feelings known they will change this ill concieved law.
IMPORTANT:
Do not be abusive under any circumstances.
Do not use bad language.
Do not be insulting.
Do ask lots of questions.
Do follow them up if they promise to get back to you.
Do urge everyone you know to do the same.
Please dont send him anything abusive we need numbers not idiots.
Ps: every time America says jump to us we say "how high"
Now it's your turn to return the favor and you may see a few Aussie teams at the next World cup:)
