Illinois legislature could BAN PAINTBALL in Illinois!

[TheAngryDrunkenRussian]

I'm sorry I'm not from your state I'm just north of you But when I had checked the laws of owning a paintball gun I got this from the local authorities. #1 defintaition of a Firearm is- ....discharging a projectile at a high rate of velocity from a explosive reaction. #2 Air rifles/Mil sim / paintball gun still fall under a firearm label but are exempt as Air Powered weapon and do not follow the same laws (doeesn't mean you shouldn't treat is a dangerous weapon). And #3 when I was reading that it made a point and you can bring this up.

Prohibits the knowing manufacture, delivery, and possession of semiautomatic assault weapons, assault weapon attachments, 50 caliber rifles, and 50 caliber cartridges.

Assault weapons are pretty much anything Current Military or Former Miltary/ Attachments are you Night vision and your flash and or sound suppressor's/ rifle obviously is a firearm/ And Paintballs are not considered cartridges.

I guess we need to find out more how Illinois classifies paintball.
But for now we still have that Class A misdemeanor charge under this, maybe?

edit:
This is a quote from another site and looks like somebody already had verified this

I just spoke to our house rep's office about this legislation. Rep McGuire's office has told me that yes, as the legislation is written, it will outlaw paintball (and air soft) in the state of Illinois. This includes the sale and distribution of paintball supplies. I would appreciate it if you all would begin contacting (and have as many people at your respective companies contact) Representative Edward Acevedo's office to explain how many jobs will be lost, and tax dollars lost if paintball as an industry is outlawed in the state of Illinois. His office number in Springfield is 217-782-2855. This legislation is in 2nd reading- which means there's not a lot of time left. PLEASE do whatever you can to ensure the full impact of this legislation is known by all members of the House.

Thank you.

one falls, others will to....

how in the f can they do this, we are the safest sport!!!! they think they all all knowing but if they did they would know that paintball has many world HQ's that we are number 3 in extreme sports and that the avergage player gets hurt once in 550 years..... this is a major issue and we as one must unite to protect our sport, that it keeps kids off the street and gives them responsibality. we must UNITE!!!!!!!! all of us voice our feelings!!!!!! one thing is for sure that if one falls many others will to!!!!!


Is there any i can go to the capital and voice myself???? can i go on the day and speek in front of the congress??????

[Tyger]

The key here is that the language of the bill is "bad", and needs to be changed to specifically exclude paintball / airsoft. The law has a basis in good intention, but we all know about the "road to hell".

Chris Rahel posted in the thread This link which says that a group called 'American Paintball Players Association' will be trying to lobby for this change. I don't like the idea of sitting back and doing nothing, so I already contacted my government representatives myself. A "drop in a bucket" is nothing, 10,000 drops adds up.

As the proposed law is written now, it could ban anything that MIGHT be a replica firearm. And as ambiguous as the language is, this could be anything with a barrel, a body and a grip. Even the "space guns" could be considered replicas, if a judge has a mean streak in them. So this portion needs to either be reworded or removed. It's also a problem for the mil-sim players and the scenario players, as the proposed law as worded could put a ban on Camo colored nerf football launchers among other things.

Don't just be angry, be active.

ok, since I don't know how to multi quote I will try and remember everythng.

don't send an email. in past activities emails are send threw a auto-responder and nothing gets anywhere and you get a responce that is nothing close to what you sent. calling is probably the best option.

It is written vauge because that lets them do as they will. like the FCC for radio, that too is written vauge and they can prosicute who they want when they want, so that isn't an accodent or typo. and also, people from everywhere can call and speak up who have never set foot on IL soil! it has happened before so I don't see why it wont now. and a bad thing is they can stuff the ballet so to speak, and choose who to report/listen to, it is a power thing, if you had power would you listen to someone who didn't like your decision?

and my thing is, money controls everything. whoever has the money wins no matter what the issue is. if it is seen that paintball makes money, which it does, they it will blow over expicily with support from communitys and companys. this does effect some big companys directly dealing with paintball, draxxus, PMI, and some others, they have money and can fight it. I am sure other paintball comanys not in IL know and will support tehm to keep it from passing and spreading, Smart Parts has mega money. and other big name companys have interest if not investment like ESPN and Disney. and celebritys play too, off the top of my head, Shattner, Vin Desiel, Mel Gibson. I am sure anybody who is anybody who plays, and even people who don't play but know players will know, and fast. I play, my girlfriend dosn't and you can bet she is going to get an ear-full. and possably tell her friends (be it good or bad) and so on, people will know, and it is on every PB related site I have been on today. everyone has at least one dollar. $1 times millions is what?

honestly I am not too worried about it.

and another idea, call NBC, CBS, ABC any local news station and give an interesting story one they might take a bite on. not "hey, their banning paintball in IL, do a story on it." but give a good interesting story about who/what/where/when/why/how. and i can't think of anyway better to control polititions then media covrage and twists and warming stories. what person for the people is going to ban a friendly safe sport they the kids of the comunity play? all races, sexes, and cultures alike all getting along and having fun?

but keep the tourni scene out of the light, then it might back fire...

highlight from Tyger's link:

HB2414 relates to firearms, and has no bearing on paintball. According to Illinois law, a paintball gun is NOT A FIREARM. (430 ILCS 65/1.1) states:

"Firearm" means any device, by whatever name known, which is designed to expel a projectile or projectiles by the action of an explosion, expansion of gas or escape of gas; excluding, however:

any pneumatic gun, spring gun, paint ball gun or B.B gun which ... expels ... breakable paint balls containing washable marking colors;

[Cow hunter]

wait, wait..... how is that LEGAL?? there is the second amendment! it would be unconstitutonal for them to pass this law! i believe warbreak had the best idea, to shower them with emails about the economy and american jobs. but seriously, if this goes through, it should exclude paintball, for many many good reasons. also other states might like the idea and follow through, which might kill the whole paintball industry!!!

[SpitFire1299]

This is why your Republican, Conserative vote is so important. Take all the guns away from all law abiding citizens, so that only criminals will have guns in the end. Join the NRA...now.

lol.

[Arstron]

24 (iv) a manufactured weight of 50 ounces or more
25 when the pistol is unloaded;

This should keep it away from paintball shouldnt it? no paintball gun weights in at 50 ounces unloaded.


It is a horible law though, just trying to show some hope for us.

[Magman99]

Someone should write something to APG...or any other magazine similar too. That would probably get the word out REALLY quick.

[Pacifist_Farmer]

wait, wait..... how is that LEGAL?? there is the second amendment! it would be unconstitutonal for them to pass this law!

This is dangerous, now your lumping paintball markers in with firearms and other weapons meant to secure our freedom. That would make it much easier to ban the sport, and is infact why some many people adamantly refer to them as "markers".


My reaction to these laws is more subdued than the rest, while I feel it is important to remind our legislators that we elected them, and our opinions matter, this strikes me as just another attention getter. I can't see how this would possibly pass, and paintball won't make a bit of difference, it will in fact be the real Gun manufacturers who pull this down. We should by all means write our letters, but remember that we aren't the only ones affected and other people have a much larger stake in it.

And the only thing your republican vote will get you is a more wealthy .01% of the population.

Then again the only thing your Democratic vote will get you is a more lazy 50% of the population.

Greedy politicians...

[Lohman446]

Could and would are entirely different things. Under a strict interpertation of the statute as written in Michigan all paintball markers are firearms, and discharging them at one another falls under dueling statutes. We've had this discussion before. The fact of the matter is the law is never enforced. Well I'm concerned about the possibility of it being enforced, the legislature never intended, with that law, to ban reasonably safe, consentual activities that did not involve something intended to be used as a weapon.
