whoever57 writes "In response to the school shooting in March in which 16 people were killed, the German Govermnet plans to ban all games in which players shoot at each other with pellets". The rationale for this is that: "paintball trivialises violence and risks lowering the threshold for committing violent acts." Fines could be up to fines of up to 5,000 euros."
