Think i seen something about this in the paper last week, Pretty sure I played football & went to college with this guy

yea u did. good mate of mine.

Signed it earlier in the week. Paintball is awesome, did it over in Melb last year

yep i signed it aswell would love to have paintball down here again

Paintball is sweet, I did it in Taiwan barefoot and with only a helmet for protection. I had about 10 welts for well over a week haha

i think the safety standards in aus would be a little better!

I'm the #405th to sign

i was like 195 woo lol

411

just got my girlfriend and all her family to sign it aswell as my mum, will get more people to do it soon

if this got started up in tassie i'd do it for sure, be so sick... except for coming home with welts all over your body haha

It will be very interesting to see if this gets approved. My vote, is no.

Why?

why not?

As much as I would LOVE to see paintball in tassie I am going with the above
I have a category A, B & H firearms license and I called up the other day and got shut down pretty quick.
The rulling they have tho is flawed, not allowed paintball as its a war game.... So is Laser skirmish is it not?
All they could give me when I called Firearms the other day was that BS.

I spose the way they look at it is that it has projectiles where laser skirmish does not. I still voted yes, and also I am a licensed Shooter.

Its bs really but i doubt it will get through, thanks to the psycho's we get no fun games

Its Pretty shit isnt it
I go to the club, shoot my pistol and other items but I cannot even get a Paintball gun to take to the Range? Even under genuine reason 1 they knocked me back.

We should go for a shot some time Panda

Because many government parties (greens, and particularly the liberals) are against firearms, especially, in regards to the youth using/having them.

and also this one;
there needs to be amendments to this act;

Firearms act states; 119. War games (1) A person must not – (a) take part in any war games; or (b) allow any war games to take place on his or her premises; or © cause any war games to be held; or (d) assist in the conduct of any war games; or (e) advertise or promote any war games.

Also, the markers are classified as a repeater. Which are almost outlawed to the general public in a long arm form.

As Quoted
"Unfortunately Paintball has be smeared as a dangerous and violent sport however as statistics can prove.."

Like i said, it will be interesting to see it get through, I did say no, and i think i will stand by that. And just because i said no, does not mean i can not be proved otherwise.

However, you don't have the numbers that other states have - its a very small community base, and after what that dickhead did down port author, most people with no understanding will say no to an amendment in the legislation. They don't want that image in tas....

Besides that, i support it.

I am #657. It's slowly going up. C'mon ppl, sign it!

sounds like the meeting with the minister went well and he's all for it, now theyre getting something ready to show to parliment

fuck yeah!
