I have been a firearm enthusiast for as long as I can remember. From a very early age, I was trained and educated in firearms, firearm safety and, CORRECT TERMINOLOGY!!!!
I can’t tell you how many times I hear people, (like the Main Stream Media and idiot politicians) use the wrong terms, or even make up terms of their own.
^^^^^LIKE THIS PAIR OF CLOWN SHOES^^^^^
“Ghost Gun” What a douche bag.
If you don’t know what I am talking about, here is the video
But what I find even more infuriating is when wrong terminology is used, BY FIREARM OWNERS!!!!
OMG, I can’t tell you how much this pisses me off. So for the poorly informed firearm owners out there, the simple participation trophy SJW Hipsters, the feeble minded politicians and anyone else I forgot to mention; here is a list of ACTUAL firearm terms.
1- MAGAZINE/ Not Clip.
There are “Clips” for firearms. They are also called “Stripper Clips”. Used in firearms like the M1 Garand, The 303 Lee Enfield, etc…
The “Evil Black Rifles” (Ar-15) don’t use them. They use magazines. The same goes for semi-automatic handguns. MAGAZINE! Say it with me now ” MAG-A-ZINE“!
2- AR-15 Does not mean Automatic Rifle or Assault Rifle.
The “AR” part of the title stands for Armalite Rifle. The terms “Automatic/Assault rifle” are terms that came around, in my opinion, to be used to vilify and strike fear into the uneducated populace by anti-gunners trying to push their gun grabgbing objectives.
Here is a little history lesson on the Ar-15 courtesy of WIKIPEDIA:
The ArmaLite AR-15 is a selective-fire, 5.56×45mm, air-cooled, direct impingement gas-operated, magazine-fed rifle, with a rotating bolt and straight-line recoil design. It was designed above all else to be a lightweight assault rifle, and to fire a new lightweight, high velocity small caliber cartridge to allow the soldier to carry more ammunition. It was based on the Armalite AR-10 rifle. After modifications (most notably, the charging handle was re-located from under the carrying handle like AR-10 to the rear of the receiver), the new redesigned rifle was subsequently adopted by the United States military as the M16 Rifle, which went into production in March 1964. The Armalite AR-15 is the parent of a variety of AR-15 variants. (Read More)
3- Only ” Straight White Right Wing Males are gun owners”
This is a HUGE LIE! I can’t even begin to tell you how this aggravates me! Straight, Gay, White, Purple, Left, Right… Gun owners come in all shapes, sizes, creeds and colors. Don’t be so narrow minded.
4- “Why didn’t that Cop shoot that gun out of the criminals hand, sparing his life?”
During a firefight. With Adrenaline pumping. You want a Cop, to pull off a “Trick shot” like this, that most professional marksman couldn’t even do on a range in calm conditions. You’re a special kind of stupid aren’t ya?
I could keep going on and on, but I feel like it’s beating a dead horse. Keep a lookout for more Op-Eds from us here at TS on similar topics.
