Sometimes the real guns are 'assault rifles'. But just looking at a picture, I can't tell if even those assault rifles are really truly guns or not. They could just as easily be realistic fakes. Given the lack of honesty in the reporting, or maybe just the innocent ignorance of the reporter, those guns on display could be anything at all.

I do not think there is a "false advertising" clause for news reporting, especially since they are not technically slandering or libelling anyone in particular. Hell, even though they revealed someone supposedly committing a felony, is there anything we, as average citizens, can do to CBS regarding it? I suppose we could bring it to the attention of whatever local DA office there may be, but I honestly doubt it would be pursued. I could very well be wrong on all of that, but short of spreading the word as much as we can, and trying to get it into everywhere we frequent, what honestly can be done against them? Of course, was it not CBS that pioneered "fake but accurate"? Unfortunately, so far as I know, there really is no way to call them on it, either.
