Great read. Hopefully easy enough even a gun controller can understand it.

Great read, But Gun controllers will not understand it or believe it. They deal with emotions not facts. Which is why every time there is a shooting they come out of the woodwork. At the bottom of the above link is another link which states knives kill 5 times as many people as rifles, but you don't see they calling for the banning of knives.

I haven't read it all yet but already I see an error.
When I went through the NRA Basic Pistol course and again when I became a certified instructor for that same course I was taught that a magazine is a spring loaded chamber or container that feeds cartridges into the receiver of a firearm.
Magazines can be removable or then can be internal to the firearm.
For example my CZ 452 .22lr bolt action rifle uses a removable magazine whereas my Mosin Nagant M44 carbine has an internal magazine for which I have clips loaded with 7.62x54R cartridges to be used to refill it when it is empty.
Clips can either be used to charge a magazine or be enbloc clips and actually stay inside the internal magazine until the last round is fired and extracted. ie the very distinct "PING" after the eighth (or fifth) round is fired from an M1 Garand. (I love that sound.)

You are talking way, way over the heads of anti's. They already don't have a clue. You can't give them too much info at once or their heads will explode.
