You just need to read the story. Cho bouught two clips on eBay. The clips then become ammo in their story. These morons don't know the difference between clips and ammo. You can't buy ammo on eBay. They are proudly publishing bold faced lies one more time.

Funny thing is that I own 2 P22s and I bought 20 P22 clips last year on the internet, and right from the source no less...

News researchers today that are too lazy to do their homework, i presume. You’d think they would chose researchers who actually know the subject matter...like weapons, etc.

I was referring to the language they used i their story. Magazine is the correct terminology,. At least that is what they taught me in the ARMY and gunsmithing school. Many still refer to them as clips.

Most of the mediots are clueless “mommy wouldn’t let me have a BB gun” people. They don’t know the difference between a butt and a muzzle, and are too lazy to educate themselves on the subject.

Gun snobs are useless creatures.

Or is that ‘Weapons snobs’?

LOL ... don't tell anyone. That's an easy way for me to tell if the person I'm talking to knows what they're talking about or not.

As far as this story goes ... I'm pretty sure that ABC news is right about this. In the same way that journalists get super secret special 9 mm revolvers with 10 rounds, I think journalists also get "clips" that are ammo.

The ignorance of the MSM about firearms and ammo is amazing. You would think they would be embarressed but apparently NOT. They are sooooo out of touch it is sad.

Yes you can. You can buy magazines on eBay, but not ammo or firearms.

If you are not familiar with the book … it is a fictional work about the Marines in WWII. One of those books I re-read every year or so.

A magazine is a case that holds several rounds and has a mechanism (spring) to feed the rounds. A clip is a simple series of retainers that holds several rounds together as a group. These can then be inserted into the magazine of a firearm. At least that’s the way I learned it.
