I play paintball.

You only hear about paintball in the news when a bunch of hooligans (who don't actually play the sport) buy some cheap guns at their local Wal-Mart and go on a vandalism spree. You hear zero reporting on how the paintball community condems such actions.

Soon after these incidents, you usually have a city council pass a law banning the posession or sale of paintball equipment in their town. The vandals go a town over to get their stuff, the previously law-abiding paintball players get arrested on their way to a commercial paintball field...
