LOL!
You are young.

Before the definitions “changed”, clips were what is now called magazines.
ie-I often taped together two 15 round banana clips for my .22 long while plinking.
It was annoying to have to individually load each round.

Then a fast way of loading 15 rounds into the clip was made, and for some idiotic reason, some marketing moron deemed that a "clip".
So my “clip” was no longer called a clip, it is now deemed a magazine.
If I hand load a 15 or 30 round magazine, it is not a clip.
Because clips are a string of connected rounds, that go into magazines.
No matter, they most always jammed, if over ten rounds are loaded, no matter what you call them.
Unless you have a really expensive gun.

I prefer a snub nosed revolver, hot loaded with plastique tipped rounds.

It's never once jammed. I've heard there are clips for them now....

Nothing personal, but I am not young and you have no idea what you are talking about. Rifles, shotguns and pistols have magazines. Some detachable, some not. Magazines for AR-15s, what the article refers, are detachable. You can hand load the magazines or you can use stripper clips. 5.56mm ammo is typically stored in ammo cans (in quantity). It can be stored as loose rounds or alternatively in bandoliers which contain clips of 10 rounds of 5.56 ammo. The old style bandoliers had 7 pockets that held two clips each. The new style bandoliers have four pockets holding three clips each. The pocket size aligns to magazine capacity. At one time, M16 and AR-15 magazine standard capacity was 20, hence two clips. Today, standard capacity is 30 rounds, hence three clips per pocket.

Other weapons, such as the M1 use clips as well. Whether a M1, M16, AR-15 or M4, clips are used to load magazines. I am not aware of clips being used to load pistol or shotgun magazines. Yes, shotguns have magazines. That tube "thingy" at the front of semi-auto and pump shotguns is a magazine. It is also true that lever action rifles have magazines - another tube "thingy". There is no such thing as an attached or detachable clip.

I am not trying to come off rude. My original post was making fun of a liberal that didn't know jack about the thing they were trying to ban. Then the liberal comes back and proves she had no idea about what she was trying to ban.

Personally, I don't get hung up in everyday speech about clips and mags, but when it comes to a liberal trying to take way my rights or someone calling me young, I get a little technical. For what it is worth, my birthday is tomorrow, so I am a little sensitive about the age thing.
