Germany Backs Down From Paintball Ban

VYSOCANY, CZECH REPUBLIC - MAY 21: A man shoots with a paintball marker at the Gotcha playground on May 21, 2009 in Vysocany, Czech Republic. The German government has abandoned its plan to ban paintball. The idea to ban the game emerged after the massacre, by a 17-year-old boy, of 15 students at a school in the German town of Winnenden in March. The Christian Democrat and Social Democrat coalition parties were flooded with angry responses when they announced their plan to forbid the game earlier this month.
