You are arguing semantics. No modern gun uses clips. The garand actually uses clips. You are talking about stripper clips which are used to load magazines by pushing the rounds from the stripper clip into the magazine. You do not insert a stripper clip into a magazine and leave it. The enbloc clip actually remains in the garand until empty so it is really one of the few guns that you stick a clip in and the clip actually stays. I was agreeing with your sarcasm and hate when people talk about banning high capacity clips when the only real gun that would impact is a garand and they are limited to 10 rounds already so ban clips all you want.
