Maybe if everyone had gotten speedball markers instead of woods ball markers this shit wouldnt happen

Bad idea... ^

Everyone has their style of play they enjoy. It's odd that the Police are suddenly going ape shit about this though.

I too am In Canada and hopefully there are no laws passed that end up cutting out the selling of markers like TM's, and all the milsim/ realistic markers. That would really hurt the sport.

I don't see them doing a province or nationwide law against the sale of milsim markers. It would effect far to many people and the companies. Around here its like a 5 to 1 ratio of milsim to speedball players. The only reason i could see them banning it locally is if there was an actual instance where a marker was used to threaten someone as an actual gun. Since we haven't heard of any story like that i don't see how any sort of law wil be passed.

Give the police free play for 1 day. It would train them on paintball and they would probably change their outlook. Not to mention, you may aquire new customers.

If you think an X7 looks like a real gun, you need to get your head out of your ass.

dang, i live in canada too, luckily the cops dont seem to care about that kind of stuff where i live

[robot0ninja]

this sucks because canada is a heavy milsim supporter (well the paintballers are). your markers are obviously not classified are firearms or replica firearms, therefore what the cop is doing is actually illegal (maybe not illegal but he is working out of his jurisdiction). politely inform this ass hole of this, you are doing nothing illegal so he cannot legally confiscate or prohibit your markers.

To bad from a distance it can be mistaken as a MP5k, especially with the hopper off.

When we asked him about what he was going to do about Walmart and Canadian Tire selling Airsoft and Milsim markers, he replied that because they sell nationally that he wasn't going to go after them *sigh*

Because who needs small businesses, right?

but the chances they'll stop the sale of milsim markers is more reasonable.

Except it isn't reasonable. Milsim makes up a LARGE majority of paintball markers, and they're here to stay whether our government likes it or not. People using these things to rob banks or scare cops just doesn't happen, and even if they did, wouldn't making them illegal just make a robber decide to not to bother with them and just go right for the real deal? Anybody with half a brain knows which of the two they'd want to be stuck up with.

Goodluck with that shitshow of a situation you have going on there. If a petition gets made about the issue then I'll be happy to sign it.

I swear if this ever happens in the united states, with the liberal route we are on it wouldn't surprise me.
