It is amazing that the gun nuts try and link people who want a sane private gun ownership requirement with Adolf Hitler or some other tyrant. Just more of the NRA yada-yada-yada that makes no sense whatsoever. When they cannot come up with any sensible statement, they then go to demeaning others with "It might help your argument is you know something about what you are talking about."

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't own a firearm and don't belong to the NRA or any other gun organization. But at least I'm no so ignorant as to think that the difference between a "clip" and a "magazine" is "sematics". They both serve very different purposes, which I pointed out in my post. Also, my post about the Hitler quote being my favorites had a "smiley face" after it. I WAS A JOKING!
Furthermore, I never meant to demean the poster that referred to "magazines' as "clips''. It's just that he has a obvious lack of basic firearm knowledge, and that lack of knowledge weakens his argument in the eyes of many. To me, an argument by someone with at least some basic knowledge of firearms is more compelling than an argument based almost entirely on emotion.
