Apologies ..
Gotcha/Paintball and
Laser Tag / Laserdrome - I didnt realize the differences (Gotcha<->Paintball, Laser Tag<->Laserdrome)
It's actually not only about a ban of Paintball and laser tags, but also about another tightening of the German laws regarding the private ownership of weapons. In effect they would state that any cabinet used to store arms would have to be biometrical secured (I dont really care about this - in the worst case it is a waste of money (last tightening regarding cabinets is only some years old), in the best case it increases security) - but it would also give the police / public order office to check on any weapon owner w/o prior suspicion (e.g. inspect his house in order to ensure that weapons are hold secure). In my eyes this is a grave violation of the sanctities of the home.
So far the searching of a house requires the decision of a judge or (at least) (serious) danger in delay.
Neither do I own weapons, nor do I want some nor am I competitive shooter or hunter. And I actually dont support free ownership of weapons - but I do believe that somewhere there is a limit where additional laws simply dont make any more sense and provide no additional security - and that (at the latest) any additional tightening is then (quite simply) plain wrong.
