I’m told that Phoenix cops routinely refer to magazines as clips.

That is a distinction that only the aficionados care about. Most others just are not that troubled by the use of term 'clip' or 'magazine.'

No, just those who care if you sound credible or knowledgable about the subject or not. You can continue to call cartridges or rounds "bullets" and you sound as clueless as the next gun grabber Libtard.
