If Germany wants to be consistent they should disband their military - I mean those are real weapons, right? Of course, that would be stupid as that is an easy way to get annexed by another country (They know this quite well). Silly Germans.

 

Of course it is stupid to ban paintball.It is even more stupid to forbid all those "violent" video games. But here in Germany for our politicions tend to overreact, whenever something bad (like the school shooting) happens.

Of course they should do something. For example try to solve the problems in society which are the "real" reason for the shooting (e.g. giving our youth a perspective for the future). But they prefer to chose the easy way and ban things just because the public needs a scapegoat. This here is just acting for the sake of acting.

But I'm pretty sure in the end nothing will happen at all and you'll still be allowed to play paintball here. Or at least I hope so...

Oh and one more thing concerning your "Silly Germans": please don't generalize us!

No more generalizing - my bad. Germany is the largest (or one of the largest I forget) exporting country in the world - so at least you have (had) a smarter economy.
