Biden has another weapon on his ban list
President Joe Biden brought up 9 mm guns in new comments about gun control.
The remarks on Memorial Day come one day after Biden visited Uvalde, Texas, to meet with the families of victims and survivors of a school mass shooting that has renewed a wave of advocacy for more stringent firearm regulations.
Speaking with reporters on the South Lawn of the White House, Biden had been asked how close Congress may be to settling on gun access reforms, including red flag rules, to which he said it is "hard to say" because he has not been directly negotiating with Republicans.
He spoke about a trauma doctor from New York who, decades ago, while Biden was a senator and holding hearings on what "rational" gun laws could be, showed him an X-ray while talking about "probably" being able to remove a 22-caliber bullet lodged in someone's lung to save a life. “A 9 mm bullet blows the lung out of the body," Biden added. "So the idea of these high-caliber weapons — there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting."
In fact, 9 mm handguns are widely popular for self-defense and concealed carry.
...
“There’s only one reason for something that can fire 100 shots," Biden said.
The president also said the Second Amendment "was never absolute." He added, "You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed," a claim he has made before that fact-checkers have examined and deemed false.
I suspect the woman who shot a man threatening a crowd with an AR-15 recently used a 9 MM she pulled from her purse. What we know about Biden is that he is protected by men with guns and he objects to others having the same protection.
