I want to meet the evil genius that can hide a missile launcher in a Paintball gun...

I need some lasers for my sharks

If I were to do something as stupid as make the ruling that judge did at my job, I would be fired. Why is it that judges are exempt from similar actions? I mean, I understand from a high level why... but you can't tell me they couldn't set up citizen boards to police this kind of thing.

Hahaha, what a joke. I went paintballing earlier this week with friends... all I got was a couple of tiny bruises (I was way too good to get shot up much :rofl:). It's just fun, I really doubt it would inspire or facilitate terrorism :down:

This all goes back to the video games make killers garbage.

i think you guys are the ones going off here :) the ruling was pretty founded i think.

you have woods, unguarded pretty much with an excellent opportunity to attack aircraft, now i'm not one of the "AMG NOEZ TERRORISTS" kids but still they have a (small) point. it'd be easy as hell to break into the facility and just hide a few weapons (you don't need a Rocket launcher to down an aircraft tbh, it helps no doubt but... these are airliners we are talking about, not ironclad fighters), not to mention the facility itself would give a pretty legit and "easy" option to scout terrain or alike.

So although the chances of such an attack are very slim, the comity still had a point
