WhO. . . hOw . . . WhY?

Well as I have been reseaching paintball gun and bb gun use I have come across a few questions myself.....

  • Who would sale a teen a weapon?
  • How should teens know the difference between out having fun and being serious?
  • Why would you hold it against someone when they do not know the difference between the fun behind the gun and the danger behind the gun?

I thought to myself about these questions to help me get started onmy topic.  As I have researched I have more information about paintball guns being a issue.  It seems that they were made to be used bythe right people, at the right time, and in the right way.  A lot of what I have read is on the debate weither there should be restrictions around the guns.  In my opinon I think there should be restrictions because from my observations I see that many people are using them in the wrong way and getting held accountable for it.

In a recent incident there was a detective who mentioned that he hopes teens open their eyes on these kinds of situations and learn that they are not just toys.  More information on the website or situation were this detective was talking about, can be gathered from my teacher.

  1. What kind of restrictions do you think there should be? You would think that a teen would know the difference between right and wrong but those questions of morals seem to come up daily in the lives of those around us as well as in us.

  2. I do not really think there should be like set restrictions but I do think parents should know their child well enough to know that they need to enforce rules when using the gun.  For some people it is common sense but for others who have never used one and do not know the power behind it, it could be different.  I have mixed feelings on this issue becasue it is a huge one.

  3. Any news on the "licence" deal?? Do you think that bb/paintball guns should be treated like real guns and restricted to the use of adults 21 or older, or should any one that shows enough responsibility be able to carry them (at the rite time and rite place, ofcourse). Also, see what restrictions the community wants!! : )
