Ya, I have a 5 round clip for my AR 14 and 15. Can't hunt in my own state with it but can to the left of me.

Maybe the problem in the US, and other countries, is that the head of state is political.

In the UK the allegiance of the armed forces, who are members of "the people", is to the Monarch and not the politicians.

Just another bit for your education.

A clip should not to be confused with a Magazine.

You are just showing your lack of knowledge, again.

Can you substantiate that statement, if not, then don't claim it proves anything.

wikipedia, LOL! anyone, even you can change information. I'm sure you did!

A Magazine can also be a BULDING. [smile] A CLIP can also mean ALOT of things!

Be sensible you were refering to firearms, so my statement stands.

Most of your pontifications are nothing but wind.

I'm afraid that what my old DI would have done to him would now be regarded as inhuman torture. But it would have been a good laugh.

With the first indication that you are not a responsible member of society in any way, shape or form ...

Let ye who is without sin be the first to cast a stone?
I wonder how many "good guys" become "bad guys"?
And why is "felony arrest" your apparent criterion for not being a responsible member of society? Not everyone gets caught. Not all irresponsible actions are felonies. Not all people "guilty" of an irresponsible behavior maintain that behavior throughout their lives.

No, some clips for a firearm have 5 rounds, some 10 rounds, others even more. I know of some that will hold 100 rounds.

It's a clip. That is the lingo used in the states.

I don't care what you call it.

No, it is not the lingo used by the educated ones in the USA.
Only used by those, just like marketing personel do for most products, who pick up the buzz words and think it makes them knowledgeable.

Sloppy nomenclature makes for imprecise communication. By the way the USMC does not use your "lingo", who are they to know?

(quote) Do you mean to argue that there is something uniquely violent about the US that leads to the higher incidence of firearm fatalities other than the number of firearms owned by its citizens?[/quote]
============================================================
yes a vary small vary violent group of citizens are not being incarcerated

but even if they were

In fact, the CDC has released final totals for 2010 and preliminary figures for 2011.

Those statistics show that in 2011, the U.S. saw 11,101 firearm homicides and 851 accidental shooting deaths.

By comparison, 33,554 Americans were accidentally poisoned to death last year; 34,677 died in motor vehicle crashes; 38,285 took their own lives; and 26,631 died as the result of injuries sustained while falling down.

something else to consider is that calafornia and texas both are larger than

most of the country's the us is being compared to and that is just 2, of 50

states as well as protectorate's

The ban on 30 round clips/Magazine{LOL}in D.C. are so ineffective that even a talking head like David Gregory who is in D.C. can get one, AND, did so on national T.V. That would make David Gregory one of them sloppy in nomenclature, imprecise in communication, bad at buzz words, and a law breaker.

(ANY FELONY ARREST)

Arrest? Really? So when they drop the charges because it becomes obvious they have the wrong person you still can't own a gun. Hey, just arrest everyone and we have gun control!

Unfortunately most of DUI's are only misdemeanors. A DUI is more than enough evidence that you aren't responsible, even if they drop it down to reckless. Frankly texting and driving is also evidence you aren't responsible enough to own a gun. After all a car can do as much damage as a gun so if you can't operate one in a responsible manner you shouldn't get the chance at the other.

Never had a DUI. Haven't had a ticket since 1986 (9 miles over the limit). ;-)

Never had a firearm accident---ever!

You are just showing your lack of knowledge, again.


"The term clip is commonly used to describe a firearm magazine, especially in newspapers, movies, and on television. Because of this usage, the Merriam-Webster dictionary now defines a clip as "a device to hold cartridges for charging the magazines of some rifles; also :a magazine from which ammunition is fed into the chamber of a firearm". " from the linked article.

It is the correct usage now regardless of the Wikipedia authors opinion. Historically you may have had a point.

For very good reasons, in the military you use the correct terminology. Failure to learn the correct terminology will find you doing some very painful and tiring exersizes.

Therefore in this case I and I am sure all the other military types will reject any wrong uses.
