It's my understanding that a clip is used to insert a strip of rounds into a magazine.

Handgun ammunition is usually sold by the box.

Clip in military terms is exactly as you described.

In generic civilian terms, “clip” is often used as synonymous for “magazine,” just as “gun” is incorrectly used to described a firearm with a rifled barrel.

Jeeez. Don't confuse them with the facts.

After all they want people to feel the eeeevil of people being able to even see an image of firearms/accessories/ammo/military surplus gear/etc., etc., etc. online.

Why, how much more eeeeevil would it be if they could go see this stuff in person? (/SARCASM)

I expect the raving hoplophobes to mount a full scale assault on the RKBA, gunshows and all the 'usual suspects', and no facts will stop them from doing so.

I believe common sense is beginning to prevail, that people are beginning to realize that the capability of returning fire is the only viable solution to sudden terroristic violence, but that will only cause the antis to go to a full court press at this stage of the game.

Donations to the CCRKBA, NRA, GOA, SAF, JPHO, and others who support the RKBA are especially important, as these are just the opening media salvos in the latest battle. The more organizations we can bring to the fore to defend the right, the better our chances.
