-kyro

[Thunder Bunny]

[WenULiVeUdiE]

Whats does this have to do with paintball?

Pro-kerry here, but I cant vote yet...

[Z-man]

Methinks this is a Friendly Corner thread.

[tru_flip56]

Bush definetly!!!!

[HateMachine]

Let me tell you

It has everything to do with paintballs future
Liberals are at this very moment trying to strip the right to have shotguns for hunting....and firearms in general
After that who's to say they won't attack or "violent" sport, because it does in fact use "guns"


I know are sport isn't violent, and we use markers and not guns but those that are anti-gun will attack our sport without thinking twice

[HateMachine]

OK guys

The reason it's here is so people will actually read and respond, so just try and deal with it for 5 days, it won't kill you

[Mosfet]

no option for "Other"?

Oh yeah, getting rid of paintball guns is high on the political agenda, right between the war in Iraq and the problems with social security

I saw the political Agendas for both parties:

1. War on Terror
2. War on that pesky Paintball Issue
3. War on Drugs
4. Employment


I always love this time of year. Its when I get to see everyone with their their most logical and well thought out beliefs.

Its time for the gun-toting-religious-zealot-flag-snow-blowing versus the gun-abolishing-gay-luvin-commie-bastards brawls!

[HateMachine]

Like i said rat....

"after that who's to say...."
hence the future......
see after is relating to the future not the present
while it may not seem likely now at the rate paintball is growing in 5 years it will be in the public eye, then it just might be targeted

[HateMachine]

in response to mosfet

I honestly don't care about third parties because they have no chance at being elected president this year......ohh wait never.


And to your attepmt to back up steelrat like i said like it or not our sport will encounter very hard resistance in upcoming years with it's growing popularity.

[BeaverEater]

The paintball community should be highly interested in the upcoming election because although the candidates might not directly fight paintball at this moment, there will come a time when it will be in the crosshairs. There have already been legal battles over banning paintball in certain cities.

If it finds resistance, it will be from local politicians most probably. The President has bigger fish to fry. This just sounds like more scaremongering. "Kerry will take away your paintball guns!"

You want to know what WILL hurt our sport? Idiots who run around and treat paintball guns like toys, shooting them at random people, shooting them at houses, not following safety rules and injuring/killing people. If people continue to misuse the equipment, maybe it should be legislated.
