[QUOTE="flybeech, post: 2078679, member: 7557"] I threw the "clip" reference in there in an effort to make a joke, along with my real question. The intent of my question wasn't the old clip v magazine yarn, so please let me try asking another way that is hopefully more easily understood, omitting the word "clip" from the question, to alleviate confusion. When politicians tell us we don't need firearms that can accept a high-capacity magazines, are they REALLY telling us we shouldn't be allowed to possess ANY firearm with a detachable magazine, since any firearm with a bottom-feeding, detachable magazine, can be fitted with a magazines holding more than a certain amount of rounds? For example, if I have a Glock 27 sub-compact pistol that is factory equipped with a 9 round magazine, but can be fitted in seconds with an evil 32 round magazine, doesn't it seem reasonable that the government would consider that an "assault weapon" since without any modifications and the press of a button, the Glock is suddenly transformed into a high-capacity weapon worthy of banning and confiscation?
