Now this is why i'm glad the system that we have in place in Australia is the way it is. Anyone in Australia who wants a paintball marker has to:-

1) be at least 18 years old
2) apply for a firearms license
3) show firearm competency to a registered firearms instructor
4) pass a police check for violent crime history.
I guess I needed more time than you lol. I was gonna point out what you have to do in australia as well. I am american, and live here and think atleast some kind of permit so there is paperwork on all who purchase pball guns. The only real thing I dont agree with is the being 18. I feel more 13 or so is better. After all it is a game and proper fire arm safety should be taught as early as possible before someone graduates to the real thing. To much freedom can be very dangerous as jerks like this point out to us all. I do feel it is to late to do something like this though since it would probally just drive up the price of used guns and cause more trouble since something that wasnt has now become taboo. If anyone hears any more info on these criminals being caught please post it incase some of us miss it.
