Seriously, I see articles concerning spacecraft and new technology where they get all the relevant information correct, but I rarely see even short articles about firearms without at least one glaring and obvious error. This one is from one of the biggest news sources in America and you would think the error would be obvious to anyone with any firearms experience. If you play Halo, you should have enough experience to detect this mistake:

"It's less clear how cartels are getting military-grade weapons. Amid the shelves of pistols and rifles, there is a 9 mm grenade launcher and a portable shoulder-fired anti-tank rocket launcher."
Yeah, we have to be worried about 9mm grenade launchers and .45mm semi-automatic handguns.
But seriously, don't journalists take their jobs seriously? They sure don't seem to. You think they could line up one expert to fact-check these articles before they publish them.
