Some tips when you get faced with the "TeLl mE WHaT AR sTaNdS FOr" question when you say you want #assultweapons banned, #VoteBlue people.
First, that question. "AR" stands for ArmaLite Rifle & ArmaLite is the company who patterned the #AR15 and originally based in Hollywood, CA in the 1950s. It went bankrupt in the 1980s, and was revived in the mid 1990s.
The part that contains the bullets in the AR-15 is properly known as a magazine or "mag." That being said, it is known in laymen as a "clip," but a clip is entirely different.

3) It's unlikely that they really wanted to size the capital, if not they would have come in bigger number.
They seem to be trying to isolate the capital from the rest of the country that they already control largely & install an attrition warfare just at the capital doors.
