Most people don't know the difference between a clip and a magazine.
I believe accuracy is important, especially for the journalistic community.
There is a correct nomenclature to weapons. When the press refers to AR-15's as machine guns or assualt weapons, do we let them slide, because 'most people don't know the difference'?
When they talk about hi capacity 9mm pistols 'spraying bullets', do we let that slide?
I think it's important to hammer the press on minor technical issues because it might encourage them to get out and learn more about guns.
And, how can we hammer the press on these points, if we don't police ourselves?
I agree completely.
But I've heard clip/mag used so interchangebly I don't know the difference.
