I call'em magazines. I dont care if you call it a clip. Many Soldiers and Marines called them clips through Vietnam.

clip

NOUN
a device, typically flexible or worked by a spring, for holding an object or objects together or in place.
VERB
fasten or be fastened with a clip or clips.
Assault rifle is a legitimate classification of a firearm. It's a select-fire rifle firing an intermediate rifle-caliber cartridge. It comes from the German Stg-44, where Stg stands for sturmgewehr, literally "assault rifle."
Semiautomatic assault rifle is an oxymoron. It is not possible to be both semiautomatic and an assault rifle.
Semiautomatic assault weapon is just word salad. That phrase has no meaning, it's just words strung together.
The word assault rifle is also word salad. The Germans coined the phrase, but it doesn't matter.

Merriam-Websters defines the Assault Rifle as,

: any of various intermediate-range, magazine-fed military rifles (such as the AK-47) that can be set for automatic or semiautomatic fire

also : a rifle that resembles a military assault rifle but is designed to allow only semiautomatic fire.

The argument of what the definition is, is the wrong point we as 2A'ers should be making.

The right argument is right in the wording of the 2nd Amendment itself.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

There is where the argument should be made. The defense of the Nation will be fought with modern military weapons, NOT muskets from the Revolutionary War. You have all heard anti gunners say, "The Founders never intended us have modern military weapons"; or "That only applied to muskets"
Thats the argument that needs to be fought

Oh and that is my pet peeve

The issue I take with your statement is that if we allow the opposition to redefine words and phrases at will, then there is no point to debating them or trying to discuss at all.

I don’t make a huge deal about it, but there is a correct term. And the media and high profile leftists saying so doesn’t make it so.

Glocks are way better! 9mm is also the greatest caliber ever developed.
