"well, not everyone knows guns" isn't really a valid excuse either.

Well, yeah it is... Kinda sorta. Ever notice how every big piece of construction equipment is a "bulldozer" on the news? Doesn't mater if it is a rubber tire backhoe, an articulated end loader, a mobile crane, a RT forklift. They are all bulldozers when the evening news comes on.
Most of the time it's because the reporter doesn't know what they are talking about so they use a common term as a catch-all. This also happens because the audience of FAUX News/ABC/NBC/CBS are mostly mouth breathing idiots. The reporter has to dumb it down for the lowest common denominator out there in TV land.
