It's all Obama's fault.

I agree with the general points here- my AR is an AR, or if you want to be more specific it's a 5.56mm, gas piston operated, semi automatic rifle based on the M4 Carbine. It holds 30-round composite P-MAG magazines.
Clip, assault rifle, and high capacity are just terms used to identify the person you are talking to is an idiot and doesn't have a basic grasp on firearms knowledge, thus you probably shouldn't even try arguing with them.
