What annoyed me was Chris Cuomo of GMA saying it could destroy a house

"...he had... a huge assault rifle that had been modified to shoot 50-caliber bullets that could completely destroy a house"

A ginger bread house

You haven't seen my house...it'd probably do it for mine.

Perhaps I shouldn't expect the truth from journalists - I wouldn't be continuously disappointed by them.

A professional journalist is defined as "Somebody who never lets the facts get in the way of a good story"

iirc, Tromix used to make an upper in .50AE, as well.
