O.K. I apologize for beating a dead horse. Quoting my firearms instructor: "Magazines are for guns and CLIPS are for the hair."
I was watching either Foxnews or MSN last night and Ted "The 'Nuge" Nugent was on and gave an applaudable response to the VT massacre...then comes Brady Campaign president Paul Helmke gave his speil (sp?). Helmke being the "president", kept saying the killer, and note giving emphisis to the host, used "CLIPS"!!!! Another way to keep the public ignorant by misinterpreting, misdefining and supporting misinformation.
I just want to make sure that we, as intelligent and responsible gun owners, know the difference and need to teach others the truth. As I explained it to my wife, eyes were opened.

Thank you, rant over.

Definition of Clips:
Definition of Magazines:A clip is a device that is used to store multiple rounds of ammunition together as a unit, ready for insertion into the magazine of a repeating firearm. This speeds up the process of loading the firearm as several rounds can be loaded at once, rather than one round being loaded at a time. Several different types of clips exist, most of which are made of inexpensive metal stampings that are designed to be disposable, though they are often re-used.
A magazine (also called a mag or, commonly but incorrectly, especially when removable, a clip) is an ammunition storage and feeding device within or attached to a firearm. Magazines may be integral to the firearm (fixed) or removable (detachable).
