An Atlanta rapper credited with starting a social media campaign to discourage gun violence – by encouraging paintball guns instead – is now being blamed for a nationwide wave of paintball gun shootings.

Well, if you're going to shoot each other for the smallest of slights and grievances, or simply for recreation, might as well use paintball guns.

Gotta give this guy a little credit here. Baby steps. It's the 'hood after all.

The rash of paintball attacks

We had one here in Detroit about a week ago........They were just driving around shooting at people. I can see this as a growing fad in the inner cities.......

I don't know anything about paint balls, are they actual paint or something that can just wash off if they target your car?

Isn't a paintball tag the same as a Native American counting coup?

Isn't that cultural appropriation?

My son and I are avid players. I honestly don’t know what to think about this. There is a possibility of being killed if you’re not wearing a mask or you catch one just right on the neck, but the probabilities are low. Could loose an eye, but you’d still be alive... The markers are just as expensive as a real gun (250 - 5,000$). A guy could make a business out of selling paint and charging bottles with air. Can’t really conceal them unless you’re using a Tippmann TiPX. Bottom line is... No one dies and the you still get to mark up your enemy. Bloods and Crips could use paint corresponding to their colors to tell who got hit and where. Geez... No deaths. That’s the clincher.

I am sorry, but this is just another form of assault and should not be encouraged. Right up there with midnight basketball for inner city solutions.

I saw this today on I-70 North of Downtown ST. Louis. Two cars weaving in and out of traffic chasing each other at high speed with paint ball splatters on their cars.

Christopher Cullins, the middle school student accused of shooting 3-year-old T’Rhigi

Christopher Cullins, the archetype "child" we would hear incessant whining about if he were shot down in the street. "He was just a child".

This stupid move will result in people getting killed.
