Biden calls 9mm ‘high-caliber weapons,’ suggests banning them
President Biden visited the site of a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, over the weekend

President Biden on Monday took aim at 9mm handguns, appearing to suggest that the "high-caliber weapons" ought to be banned.

The president made the remarks outside the White House after returning from a visit to the site of a mass shooting in Texas where 21 people, including 19 elementary school children, were killed last week.

Recounting a visit to a New York trauma hospital, Biden said doctors showed him X-rays of gunshot wounds.


"They said a .22-caliber bullet will lodge in the lung, and we can probably get it out — may be able to get it and save the life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body," Biden said.

"So, the idea of these high-caliber weapons is, uh, there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting," Biden added. "Remember, the Constitution was never absolute."

"You couldn’t buy a cannon when the Second Amendment was passed," Biden said. "You couldn’t go out and purchase a lot of weaponry."

The president, however, ruled out the possibility of issuing an executive order on guns, saying: "I can’t dictate this stuff."


"I can do the things I’ve done and any executive action I can take, I’ll continue to take. But I can’t outlaw a weapon. I can’t change a background check. I can’t do that," he said.

Biden’s comments were in line with his tough stance on guns during the 2020 presidential campaign. Speaking during a fundraising event in Seattle in November 2019, Biden said he supported the Second Amendment but called absolutist arguments about gun-rights "bizarre."

"Why should we allow people to have military-style weapons including pistols with 9-mm bullets and can hold 10 or more rounds," he said.

The 9mm round is the most popular handgun caliber in the United States, accounting for well over half of all handguns produced in 2019, according to Shooting Industry magazine. The data showed that throughout the 2010s, 9mm pistols made up more than 40% of all pistols produced in the United States – or roughly four in every 10 pistols.

The Second Amendment is once again in the crosshairs after a lone gunman, identified as 18-year-old Salvador Ramos, killed 19 children and two adults at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, some 85 miles west of San Antonio.

The assault was the deadliest shooting at a U.S. grade school since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, nearly a decade ago.

Why should we ever allow our gov't to deny us the right of self-defense??

How can we allow our government to be more powerful than the people who created it?

Yup. 9mm will blow your lungs right out of your body 🤣

And shoot your eye out!!!

I’ll throw the BS flag on this and state that this event never happened, like so many of dopey joey’s stories.

We should all wish Joe Biden is that stupid, look at what he is doing to us.

SAcharlie should be along here shortly to tell us that he agrees with Biden....

There is NO [bleep] WAY in the world this guy is potus. NO WAY.

He has no idea what 9mms are but he wants to ban them 🤬

Aside from the ridiculous content, look at the random, rambling, irrational style. There's a reason Biden's handlers rarely allow him to speak without a teleprompter.

.22rf ain't that harmless, and likely won't "lodge in a lung".... LMFAO.

I knew (operative word) a guy years ago. Big dude, for an Eskimo - over 6' and a husky fooker, too. .. Beat on a little old man half his size in the village. When he came back for a second round, Gus had his .22 American Arms derringer ready.

That bullet bounced around inside, taking out several vital organs. Lazzie made it about 20 yards outside, fell over and bled out.

As is the wont in the villages, Lazzie was an instant wonderfully good guy (where have we heard that before?) and not the vicious bully he really was, and Gus was the goat and had to leave town, at least for awhile.

They don't want the 9mm - they want them all, of course. Nibble, nibble.

Ya but,
In Biden's twisted little pea brain, 9mm has a 9 in front of it- so it's gotta be more high powered than a 357, or a 45, 'cuz they only have 3's and 4's in front of their names........

The ignorant idiots will lap this up. The 9mm will be the new AR.

Fully semi-automatic, child killers!

RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!

I'm already seeing it on Twitter this morning. They stopped calling for a ban on all AR's just long enough to demand 9mm's be banned too. Now they're back to AR's

Don’t forget “weapons of war” ! 🤬 Oh, and guns that are too powerful for civilians

Don’t expect any political pundit to understand firearms and ammunition. They are clueless and merely parrot what their handlers tell them to say. MTG

Can we just rename 9mm to .355 and make them all feel safer?

Big Eskimo Jim better quit giving Bristoe so much chit!

lol
