The term clips and magazines have been interchangeable for decades.

Only persons who think they know better make a fuss about any more.

You need to get a life.

Yes I know the different between the stripper clips for my 03 Springfield and the magazines for my clock ect

"The term clips and magazines have been interchangeable for decades."

In the left-wing gun-grabber world, yeah, pretty much. Other interchangeable terms would be "bullet" and "round", and "the it can't fire thingy" and "safety".

Murdered and killed have the same end result. Someone is dead. But the terms definitely are not interchangeable. It isn't elitism, or merely semantics. Words have meaning, and it's important (I think) to use the ones that most accurately convey our intended meaning, even if a less accurate (or inaccurate) term somehow conveys the intended message. It separates us from those who would term my black .22 rifle as a deadly evil nasty illegal fully-automatic assault rifle.

Ok, getting off my soapbox. :)

You've even got a clock that takes magazines?

Dang! Where can I get one of those?
