Seems pretty simple that if you’re not happy with your child playing, then don’t allow them. I think it’s a good thing to allow a parent to make up their own mind about what their child can and cannot do.
You still need to be 18 to own one, so I don’t see why it’s a big deal.

You are spot on mate, it's not a big deal, just turned into one by the Anti's who don't want kids to play cowboys and indians or any other game that involves firearms. I remember a few years back kids were being sent home or getting in trouble at school for drawing pictures of guns or making guns with their fingers FFS, what a retarded world we are living in when crap like that is acceptable and crap like this LGTBI AB f***ing C crap is accepted as normal.

My issue with paintball is that I was taught to NEVER ever point a gun, any type of gun, loaded or otherwise at anyone, at any time

I didn’t see it as being remotely controversial
I read somewhere one of you had played in the backyard shooting each other with air rifles!
Now my kids would have seven shades of sh!t flogged out of them if they ever did that but me and my brother also did it when we were kids but we used blue tac instead of lead pellets.
I’ve got no problem involving my kids in paintball and teaching them the difference between a paintball gun and a marlin 336. Just like I have no problem between teaching them the difference between car racing video games and driving a real car.
Wether it’s a paintball gun, a .22lr, a shotgun, car, truck, log splitter, can of beer, tennis racket or a fvckin condom my job as a parent is to expose them to the world and teach them how to survive it safely, morally and ethically......
