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.

Please read previous thread about the punk kid in court...not the rapper

I agree Drew68.

Any guy being hit with a paintball, should be thinking about how that could have been the real thing, just as easily.

As you state, baby steps... > in the right direction.

At least innocents won’t be getting killed if it stays within the paint ball limits.

The police should go easy discouraging this. They should know the alternative.
