Discussion to change firearms act in SG.
This post here was shamelessly ripped from Vision2030 and it was written by Mr Grant Harrison.
This is one post i really find interesting and hopefully a followup by the government committee can be done to help grow the sport and also the paintballers in Singapore.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paintball is a TEAM SPORT and is currently only restricted in developing to it's full potential by the the current Singapore laws that do not allow personal marker ownership.
Having posted originally in Vision 2030 to give paintball the recognition it deserves it was great to see the press coverage we received and the interest that the Acting Minister for Community Youth and Sports, Mr Chan Chun Sing take time out to attend the recent Singapore Paintball Championship.
The question is does his attendance at this event change the status of paintball in Singapore? The answer is no.
As I have already posted on this site, Paintball is still not recognised by the SSC as a sport and to my knowledge, the current laws pertaining to personal marker ownership have not been amended and players in Singapore cannot own their own markers. This makes it near impossible for local paintball promoters to open their events to an international market and even more impossible to fast-track the development of local paintball players to compete at local and international paintball tournaments.
The purpose of Vision 2030 was to give the general public a forum to voice ideas about how to improve sports in the country. I think the paintball community have proven their support by voting for the ideas that have already been posted about paintball, so now it's time for those behind Vision 2030 to contact the paintball community to get a balanced representation of people in the local paintball industry and paintball players to form a committee to discuss these matters face-to-face. The paintball community need government co-operation and support to make this happen.
The paintball community are 'in-the-dark" as to why there is resistance to calls to modify the current firearms laws to allow personal marker ownership. The paintball community have plenty of suggestions how marker ownership can be regulated and are willing to work with the SPF and the government to address any issues they may have.
Only when paintball players have the freedom to use their own equipment and the ability to travel overseas with this equipment to take part in regional and international events, will the sport of paintball in Singapore truly develop.
We've already posted on the positive benefits of paintball to the local community from health and team-building to jobs, boosting the local economy and tourism.
Now it's time to sit down and tackle the real issues that are holding paintball back in Singapore. We would appreciate if Vision 2030 can initiate further discussions on the matter.

Milestone
During World Cup Asia 2011 in Langkawi Island, Malaysia, i have been trying to recall all the competions Ragdolls have ever participated. It seems like yesterday that we started this team so i feel its time to write up the team's milestone after 2 years of being in the paintball scene (2 years already, that's fast!!).
We are not bragging but if we are, we have the right to because these milestones here are to remind us of how far we have come and fought as a team.
2010 Milestone
Super 7s? We'll see how. ;)

Ragdolls @ WCA2011
Although we didn't make it to Sunday, the boys did great and had great fun during the event. Our final standing in Division 4 was 13th. Not bad considering that we had little training time before the event but hell, we put up a good fight for all the teams that are up against us. they are not getting it easy from us.
Not to worry, despite the position. We still have 2012 in Division 3!!!
YES!! You heard it alright. Ragdolls are going up to D3!! See you people in WCA 2012. =)

Official team jersey from Anthrax Paintball Design
 |
| Ragdolls Official Team Jersey 2011/12 Picture courtesy of Anthrax Paintball Designs. |
The colour green has always been Ragdolls's colour since 2010. So it was no surprise that it was put into use. Playing with variations of green, black and white, this jersey was created.
Once done, design was sent to Anthrax Paintball Designs for printing.
The quality of the end product was top of the line. Professionally done. I would recommend any teams looking for custom team jersey to drop by and have a look at Anthrax Paintball Designs.
Thank you Anthrax Paintball Designs for the killer jersey!! Look out for us at World Cup Asia 2011.
