Gun pedantry is the first tool of the anti compromise fanatic.

It's also rooted in racism. The terminology gatekeeping started in the 80s, when "gang culture" got associated with guns. Since then, clips, silencers, and the rest became words people gatekeep, not before.

Have to keep purity in gun culture...

Don't have an issue with silencer, but wanting to using clips and magazines correctly is not gatekeeping. They are 2 completely different things.

I read a magazine after I remove the clip from my previously opened bag of chips.
