    How to keep bullets in a clip?

    I'm at an impass. I keep hearing New Yorkers on tv talk about high capacity (or even high caliber by one host) bullet clips. Now, I've got stripper clips for several different rifles, an en bloc M1 clip, and even a Steyr M95 clip, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to keep just a bullet, or even a boolit in them without it falling out on the floor. I did manage to stack about 47 boolits inside the Garand clip, but have no idea how they would feed in that automatic weapon without the rest of the cartridge. Obviously New Yorkers and DC politicians know a lot more about this stuff than I do. They keep asking who needs an assault weapon. Couldn't be us country folk who live over a half hour from the nearest police department. I guess one shot fired per minute from my high capacity bullet clip while I wait for the police to arrive is just too much for the city libs to feel safe.

    It's not a matter of you being or feeling safe from a criminal, it's the criminals being safe from you. Lord forbid, you should need to defend yourself or your family from a criminal bent on doing harm

    We have enough gun control. What we need is idiot control.

    The thing that amazes me is the names of some of those jerks in NY trying to disarm the American people! To me, many of those names appear to be of Jewish origin. Did'nt WW2 teach them anything??? I wonder how many Jews supported old Adolph when he instituted gun registration in Germany in the 1930's.

    Funny how people want to ban things they don't know what they are. Like wanting to ban sniper rifles which are just hunting rifles with heavy barrels and facy stocks.

    Maybe a little genetic annihilation would snap them out of it??

    So NOT forget the short memmoried folks on the west coast either. "If I had the votes I would ban EVERY firearm in this country" MS Feinstein (she has had her own CCW for years).

    Your so right Bill, and they hope people have short enough memory that they don't remember what they've done in the past. Like Ms Feinstein getting caught with her ccw in her purse at an airport back in the early 90's. Of course, just do as they say and not as they do.

    I heard one on the libatards talking on the news earlier today. He was speaking about high capacity ammo. Is that a cartridge that has a powder charge above max listed? Or a case that will hold a lot of powder?

    The "Jews" have the only country that understands security. The "Jew" I shoot with every week owns 5 times the number of guns I do.
