steel cored paintballs?

[Dover]

Yeah, I own a copy of the Canada Criminal Code as I used to be in the military (Canadian Armed Forces Reserve - 15th Field Royal Canadian Light Artillery Militia) and law enforcement (worked as a civilian in the RCMP Commercial Crime Unit, and held a Private Investigator's License)

The rubber-coated balls are NOT restricted in any way, they cannot be classified as firearms ammunition since a primer is not used nor is an explosive propellant used. Besides, ammunition is defined as being able to discharge either by rimfire or centerfire. This is a ball!!!

But like I said, it's just unfortunate that the seller is catching so much flak, but then again it's like going around selling pictures of little kids, it's cute in one sense and creepy (if not downright illegal) in another sense. Wanna buy some marijuana? I got lotsa, PM me!

It is up to us to be vigilant and professional when coming across someone who is not as well-versed in ethics and morals. It is like the heroes of Virginia Tech (God Bless you all) who stepped forward to act rather than condemn.

Instead of being reactive, we should be pro-active; teach our friends and acquaintances, and even complete strangers, to embrace each other. (yes I am stoned. )

Swearing? I didnt see any swearing.

Did a series of asterisks in a row offend your sensibilities? Is that what you have devolved to?

Quit your *****ing.

Well you should have known it was cussing after the first time you typed it and saw these, *****ing. What do you mean you didnt see any swearing. Thats called activating the filter or cussing which you should know is not allowed. If you didnt you do now. Come back in five days and dont cuss when you post. If you see these **** you activated the filter. Of course you wouldnt type those right?

It offends AO because its cussing and it aint allowed.

Spread the word. AO is a cuss FREE Forum. Dont cuss or you WILL get a ban

Sorry for the interruption.

Carry On

again dover, in and of itself, the idea of a ball with a steel core is just that, it is a ball with a steel core.

just the same as by itself a tazer is just a capacitance circuit with an activation switch.

fact of the matter, every day electronics contain circuits exactly like what is used in a tazer. but an actual tazer is illegal because it is a weapon designed to be used on humans.

So, while a steel cored rubber ball is not a weapon by itelf, by directing people to use these in a projectile launcher, it has become a weapon. moreover, by Ontario law, he can't sell BB's or like items to minors, which he has no way of certifying through Ebay.

the other problem is this fellow is selling 9mm and .45 ACP rubber bullets. You can't possibly escape the fact that this is real, live ammunition being sold through Ebay, moreover this ammunition is intended for use on human beings. A rubber bullet is not as accurate as it's lead counterpart, so there goes the idea of using it for target practice, and the idea that these won't pierce drywall is utter bull, as they have sufficient mass and speed to travle through drywall easily.


i wonder if you would be so defensive towards this seller if he was peddling brass knuckles as paper weights and saying "hey, they're also great for punching people with"

i have one question: is it ok for me to go on ebay and sell marbles, and in my description i say they are great for shooting out of any paintball gun, and you can really destroy some cans
but im just selling marbles.
Just what our sport needs....more stupid people!!

Selling things with the stated design of harming other people over e-bay is wrong - criminally and morally. You are selling these things to people you have no idea about, at all.

I don't understand the justification for it. Its ok because someone else might? Please tell me thats not an actual argument.

As to being offended by cussing or the **s. Not at all. I am terribly offended by people who cannot read and follow the rules of the board.
