Push to legalise paint ball guns in Tasmania

www.themercury.com.au

aintball games have been banned in Tasmania since the Port Arthur massacre.

Mr Evans said the game was decisively banned as part of the uniform gun laws introduced in 1996 but it was time to change that.

He said it had the potential to attract national and international competitors and valuable tourism dollars.

I can not believe they are not budging on this.

The Anti Gun Control Group has made a argument that we shall not be encouraging people to shoot each other. What a pathetic argument while we are at it lets make all fighting sport illegal too.

Its not promoting a gun culture, its promoting a sport which I will never get to try because of gun laws they pushed onto us after a massacre that they have not investigated properly.

So I hope they come around and get past what they consider to be ugly.

It would seem so. A God given right turned into a safety concern by self entitled pathetic people on power trips.

JIminy christ!!

I remember almost 20 years ago paintball guns/paintball was illegal in mainland Aus. I thought about how stupid this was.

I had no idea Tassie still had this.

Wow, pollies down there suck more bum than a bottom feeding sand groper.

What on earth does a paintball gun have to do with martin bryant. he had REAL guns, legally and illegally obtained. Once again a case of the adults being penalised because a damn child chucks a wobbly.. and bryant was as dumb as a bucket of nails.

Anyone read his police interview? He's better off in prison. Crap, hes better off dead that sick sonof abitch.
