If I Hear "Clips" Or "Automatic" One More Time
« on: January 11, 2011, 05:21:48 AM »
The media, shows their knowledge. 98% are all talking and writing about those dastardly high capacity clips for those automatic pistols.

It's enough to give me a headache. >:(

Wonder what Haz thinks of this?

As much as it pains me to say it, I think Fox News is one of the worst at this. I wish, if they are going to constantly discuss guns, they would give their reporters some basic firearms training. They seem to know everything there is to know about everything from politics to mining safety, but when it comes to firearms they're as ignorant as a box of rocks! For a conservative network who has shown a steady support of the Second Amendment, you would think they would want to get things right in this regard.   Bill T.

 Doesn't bother me, a revolver and a pistol are not always the same thing. A revolver is always a pistol but not all pistols are revolvers. The misstatements over clips, automatics and assault rifles just shows me who has no idea what they are talking about.

For me, it's the defining moment to see if they really know what they are talking about.  Most FAIL!

Actually according to US Army training manual titles "Automatic" is proper nomenclature, at least for the 1911 .

Automatic is common and proper in the name such as "Colt Automatic Pistol," but by definition the guns are either "automatic loading/loader" or "semi-automatic."
