From the linked article

Biden said, “The idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon, whether it’s a 9mm pistol or whether it’s a rifle, is ridiculous. I’m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things.”


From Biden’s own mouth.

What’s the issue here with what he said or didn’t say?


I think the question is whether “those things” are the mags or the firearms capable of accepting them.

While Biden is a senile puppet given to misstatements, he tends to give things away when he makes a mistake. Given that history I’m inclined to believe he meant the firearms capable of taking those mags… as in Australia, all semi-autos that accept detachable mags.

We all know that’s where they’re headed no matter how you parse his words.
