Well, to be completely accurate, a .38 revolver can't fire .357 magnum rounds. The shells are longer so they won't fit in the cylinder. OTOH, a .357 can load and fire .38s with no problem at all. In practice, no one really buys .38s much anymore since a .357 is much more versatile being able to fire .38s, their high pressure variants and the .357.

Tribes is completely out of his depth here, and to top it all off, he's not even reading the law correctly- I guess that's the benefit of never providing any sources. You don't have to keep your facts straight.
