Comment on The AR Rifles by Jack Durish

Unfortunately, the debate over guns is greatly confused by the general ignorance of those shouting the loudest. Anyone who takes the time to study the facts cannot but agree that we are misspending too much energy in the wrong direction. Personally, I was hesitant about widening concealed carry until I saw the facts. Crime is greatly diminished in those jurisdictions where responsible, law-abiding citizens are allowed to carry concealed weapons. It’s surprising, but factually true. Don’t be misled by people publicizing their versions of “scientific data”. Go to the source, the FBI database. It’s available on the Internet. And, in discussing the experiences in other nations, you’ll find that their data is also available on the Internet, such as the Home Office in Britain.

And, yes, people are generally ignorant when discussing guns. It’s obvious that many anti-gun advocates are of the opinion that guns are demon-possessed. Sad…

Derek,
You are so right. An inexperienced character could use the term incorrectly to help establish him/her as a novice. Thanks for making that point.

I think accuracy is relevant when establishing a character’s familiarity of firearms. For example, it would still be appropriate for a character to use the word “clip” in the wrong context if your goal is portray him/her as a casual user or inexperienced, but not necessarily a firearms “expert.” Nonetheless, thank you for explaining the significant difference between the two word to your peers.

I only shoot single action guns (Colt revolvers and such) so hadn’t thought about clips vs. magazines, but you explained it very well. Yes, writers need to be accurate in their description–this article may help someone get it right!

Good points. Some think accuracy is unimportant, but a reader will always catch errors.

Interesting. I must have an alternative mindset – thought this would be an article about (film) clips and (on-line) magazines!
