meh, i've heard it called clip all my life and i really don't see the difference or care what people call it. if they call it either one, i know what they are talking about. both are ammo holders that are inserted into a gun, so really, who cares?

its a BIG differnce... clips are just that a clip that holds the bullets in a row for early weps..
a magazine holds bullets in a totally different manner. (fully enclosed) and are used in most modern weps.

It's more likely that "clip" has been popularized by Hollyweird, most likely because some ignorant writer thought it sounded cooler. Even though it's technically incorrect, it's become a generic term, and thus, acceptable.
As far as pre-ban and post-ban, the ban is now over. The original law was for 10 years, with the hope that it would be extended at the end of that time. Instead, congress opted to allow it to lapse. What that means is that anything that was affected by the ban is no longer affected......meaning that unless you have a local law making it illegal, you can now buy any size magazine you can find for your firearm, folding stocks that really fold are now legal (the ban forced manufacturers to make a "folding stock" not be able to fold......really dumb!), and there's no limit to how many assault rifles the dealers can import, or from where.
The only thing I wish now is that I had sold all my extended mags back when you find them new, for more $$$, and then bought new ones once they were legal again. Oh well, hindsight is 20/20, isn't it?

Does it really matter? When I am in the woods and a heard of bambis are closing in on my position... I am going to yell throw me another clip since it is shorter than magazine. That could be the difference between life and death.
