Reader’s view: Journalists need to study up on weapons terminology

I’ve always been taught to go to Webster’s Dictionary for the correct spellings, meanings and uses of words. So I consulted Webster’s for “assault weapon” because it has so frequently been in the news. I also looked up “clip” and “firearm magazine” and found they, like apples and oranges, are completely different from each other.
