... until the match ends.

I dunno how I feel on this, on the one hand I love paintballing and personally don't feel encouraged to shoot things afterwards, but there are a lot of mentally uneasy and impressionable people out there. 

boo Germany!

Germany so crazy rite now!

I feel sorry for your family. But today you don't have to worry at all. People would tend to apologize to you more than insulting you. New synagogues are built and if you say there was no holocaust you can book your ticket straight into jail (holocaust denying is actually a crime). People might be more interested about your background in a positive way than you can ever imagine. I even can't remember a crime against anything jewish for years. And if something like this happens, there's a big public reaction to it. All the newspapers will call the offenders a shame. The neo-nazi party tends to have demonstrations with 50 followers and at least 500 demonstrants against it.

As for the paintball-ban. It's even in magazines like the German times magazine, the "Spiegel", critized as a upcoming election propaganda. So it's not sure yet, if it gets passed.

As someone who enjoys paintball from time to time, I see the point why they want to ban it, but even if, it makes no big difference, because you never have to drive for more than 3-4 hours from anywhere in Germany to get to another country, where it's allowed. In my case (I live in Munich) it's one hour to austria and 1,5-2 hours to czech republic.

What's the point of them wanting to ban paintball again?

First Person Shooters present a far more accurate portrayal of firearms than paintball does. Why not ban the 50 other things closer, and more dangerous to crime than paintball?

Because it has a trigger? It shoots things?

Sooner or later, Germany is going to ban every single thing with a bladed edge, and force you to register knives 'just to be on the safe side'. Doesn't mean it's going to be a productive thing.

Do we really want to encourage Germans to want to use guns?

Of course. That was the last thing Hitler wanted - an armed German populace.

Sorry, but I must tell you that you seem to have no idea about Germany under Hitler.

After the 1st world war, different armed civil groups were fighting each other until the mid 20ies (The SA and the SS where just 2 out of many). And under Hitler Germany had probably the biggest percentage of weapons in the population.

When Hitler finally took over, he strongly encouraged being armed and taught even children in the Hitler Jugend (Youth) how to use different weapons from pistols to grenades.

So much for Hitler didn't want an armed population.

Actually Germany are pretty much breaking rule number 1 in preventing mass shooting by doing this.

The idea is to let everyone forget about it and don't change a rule due to one directly isolated incident like this, if your going to change one don't mention the incident. It spurs more people to go killing than it prevents.

Hitler also banned firearms in Nazi-occupied territories during the war. For example, Holland after conquest:

(quoted from here)

Hitler wanted an armed Nazi population, thus offering training to Hitler Jugend, while banning firearm ownership of Jews and occupied territories. Not really consistent with an armed populace...Only armed people that were willing to die for Hitler.
