(8,827 posts)You said an "assault clip" is a "device to feed more bullets to the chamber than any moral person will need..."
Can you give me an actual definition of those two words?
Do you not see this is an undefined idea/thing as there is no arbiter of morality? I'm really trying to tap dance for you here because at any moment any one of dozens of potential people is going to pop up, call me a Precious Flower or Gun Nut (despite the fact that I don't own any guns) accuse me of NRA talking points and were back at step 1.
An "assault clip" isn't, by definition a thing. I can't point at my Jeep Wrangler and say "Yeah, that's my ArfGarble" and expect people to know what I'm talking about. If you ask random people on the street what an "assault clip" is, you probably wouldn't get the same answer twice and probably would instead get a funny look because most people wouldn't understand what you're talking about.
To me, this thread (and the hundreds that came before it) are a beautiful, exquisite example of why the country makes no progress on this issue.
