Sensational is All You Will Get

Here is an example of the main stream media trying to sensationalize a report:

High-Powered Weapons Arsenal Found In Apt.

I re-read the article multiple times, but I could not find a fifty caliber Barrett, a Win-Mag 300, or even a .308. What I found was this:

"This is a 5-56. The same caliber as our U.S. military uses and our SWAT teams use. Same caliber," Sgt. Leon Ciesle of the Sanford Police Department said."

For anyone who knows firearms, there are hunting rifles that are far more "high powered" than a 5.56 round. Reporting like this is how the American people become uninformed about firearms.
