It really frustrates me. My parents shouldnt have to be with me so I can buy some spray paint or paintballs. Luckly, there is a local huntin store that sells them to minors around here. Oh well, i will be 18 in 4 months.

I think this is avoiding a problem. It'* simple to take away the tools, but the kids are the problem, not the paintballs. They will find another way to cause problems. I do think you should be 16 to buy paintballs because it'* not safe for kids to play with those toys without parental supervision.

Oh jeez don't get me started on the canned air. Gotta be 18 here to buy it, AND now it'* $7.50 a CAN! 
But yeah, I think of paintball guns are as much of a weapon as real guns are. They can hurt animals, people, and can destroy many things due to the paint. As I said before, I am all for the 18+ law on them.
