“What, exactly, is a ‘multi-clip’ gun?..............”

Two M1 Garands duck taped together?

Beats the hell out of me.

I was trying to figure that out, as well. Two interpretations: 1. shotguns with shell carriers mounted on receiver or butt stock 2. journalist ignorantly talking out his butt. My money's on 2.

There are ‘devices’ which hold two or more magazines together while attached to the gun. Ruger 1022’s have a three ten round mag device, and there are numerous devices available to band two or more AR/M4 style mags together. But given the ignorance level of the media drones who are tasked with writing such foolishness, it is anybody’s guess what is meant.

A clip at both ends for a detachable sling?

Makes you shake your head doesn’t it. The photo at the link shows hand guns with magazines, and a hand grenade.

Not only that, but when was the last gun of any type that used a charging clip manufactured, WWII? What is the problem with the media that they can not get the simplest terminology correct.

Idiots have grown tired of Ozone Holes, Rain Forests and Globull Warming.

They have gun clips in their sight. I have a gun clip but it doesn’t match my ties.

Libs, God luv em’

A clip? My Garand has clips. I have stripper clips. But my other rifles have magazines.

I’m starting to think the misuse of terminology is just another way for them to help obfuscate the issue.

Rather than talking about how blatantly unConstututional their ex post facto law is, or how anyone attempting to enforce such a law should be strung up from the nearest lamppost as a warning to others...

We sit around quipping about nomenclature.

Let me translate for you ...

Not multi-clip gun ... multi-clip gun owner. If you have a gun, and you also have more than one clip that can be used in that gun ... you are a multi-clip gun owner.

Now the proposal makes sense ... all multi-clip gun owners must turn in their guns ...

You see how easy liberalism is when you put your mind to it.

It is a description designed to scare idiot liberals.

a ‘multi-clip’ gun

My dad always says that a "Clip" is something used to hold together a large number of papers, and a "Banana Clip" is something used to hold together a large number of bananas.

Someone needs to post the "Journalist's Guide to Guns" photo..... :-)

All it says about clips is in regard to the SAFE Act, which was signed in January by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. That law limits magazines to seven bullets (they should have said "cartridges" instead of "bullets").

Limiting a rifle so it can only hold 4 cartridges is a crime in itself. I have two rifles and the one I would use holds a magazine of 15 cartridges - don't touch my PINK rifle. There is no way anyone is taking or changing that rifle. No one is getting the other top line rifle/scope and top line shotgun.

I've had it with freaking liberals trying to destroy our way of life. A pox on all of them and stay away from ALL my defensive weapons of which there are numerous ones, not just those that require cartridges.

We need to elect Greg Abbott as Governor of Texas because he won't let anyone mess with your legally purchased firepower and he has them, too. Perry was strong on our right to have our weapons, and we have to keep that assurance as we elect the next Governor.

England talked about making a law that kitchen knives could not be taken outside and if we let liberals start taking our weapons, your pocket knife is not far down their list. I've decided to buy a big Swiss Army knife and mail it to my son in England and in that same box, include a smaller Swiss Army knife for my grandson. Let's see if they can keep them.

I'm just ticked off about all of this right now.
