So what does AR stand for?



According to some progressive genius on the poli board, it stands for Assault Rifle.

A stupid person really doesn't bother me, but a stupid person who don't know he's stupid scares the hell out of me!

Does the website actually list them as a "clip", or do they know that people who don't know the difference will search for them as such, so they add that in as their key-words to direct you to their website, where they correctly refer to them as magazines? Examples would be helpful. TIA.

Well I did this yesterday.
I caught that but figured it was tongue-in-cheek.

I've never realized that and it would make sense.

When I hear someone use the word "clip" it shows a level of incompetence in terms of guns.

Just like concrete and cement. They are two different things, but people sometimes interchange the words. If you use the cement when referring to concrete In the construction industry other peers will look at you like you don't know what you are talking about.

So when someone uses "clip" to refer to a magazine it tells me that they don't know much about guns.

Cement is the mixing agent that comes in the bag, and concrete is what you get when you mix cement, aggregate, water an sand.

An ignorant person who comes on board and blasts people for being ignorant is my biggest issue. The poli board is home to this kind of behavior.

So driving down the interstate, that is concrete? That is always what I have called it but never knew that it was technically correct.
