Ultimate clip / mag definition

A magazine contains a spring and a follower to push bullets into feed position, a clip contains bullets and nothing else.

I guess I was in the education business too long... as long as the idea was conveyed, I never gave a rat's behind about whether someone called it a clip or magazine (they most likely weren't carrying an M1 Garand anyway)... same with bullet for cartridge.. YMMV

""It may be laid down as a primary position, and the basis of our system, that every Citizen who enjoys the protection of a free Government, owes not only a proportion of his property, but even his personal services to the defence of it, and consequently that the Citizens of America (with a few legal and official exceptions) from 18 to 50 Years of Age should be borne on the Militia Rolls, provided with uniform Arms, and so far accustomed to the use of them, that the Total strength of the Country might be called forth at a Short Notice on any very interesting Emergency." - George Washington. Letter to Alexander Hamilton, Friday, May 02, 1783

Its a long squarish thingie that holds those long roundish whatsits.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

I've always said "a magazine is an ammunition feeding device" and "a Clip is an ammunition storage device" ;) ;)

"When tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty" Thomas Jefferson
Es gibt keine Notwendigkeit zu befürchten, Underdog hier ist.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????

CLIP is what you do to coupons. 

Coupons are in MAGAZINES.

I don't see what you're arguing about!

“I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”  Chris Kyle

If this doesn't bring Haz "back from the dead", nothing will.
Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
