President Joe Biden urged Congress to work toward a bipartisan solution on gun violence on Monday, one day after visiting the Texas town where a gunman took the lives of 19 elementary school children and their two teachers last week.
'I think things have gotten so bad that everybody is getting more rational about it - at least that's my hope and prayer,' the president told reporters outside of the White House.
Biden recounted been shown x-rays of what a firearm could do to the human body.
'The .22 caliber bullet will lodge in the lungs and we can get it out. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body,' he said. 'The idea of a high caliber weapon, there is no rationale for it in terms of self-protection, hunting.'
A 9mm bullet is typically known as the ammo used in handguns - the most common type to conceal carry. It's not clear if Biden misspoke to mean a higher-caliber weapon such as the ones used in the recent mass shootings in Buffalo and Uvalde.
It comes against the backdrop of hope that the Senate can come to a compromise - after Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell directed Texas Senator John Cornyn to work with Democrats on the issue.
Biden, apparently sharing that optimism, called McConnell and Cornyn 'rational' Republicans - though told the press he didn't know about the status of such talks.

Yeah, them AR-79s with thousand round single stack magazines are a real hazard eh? Sadly, there are too many uninformed folks that will buy this 🐂💩
5.56 mm is 22 caliber. On what planet is 5.56 mm "higher caliber" than 9 mm? JoeBidenSenileDementiaPlanet?
Biden’s ignorance about firearms is breath taking.
Let’s Go Brandon, FJB.
Did you know that if you shoot a 9mm at the sun, you can put the sun out?
Well, at least we know where his endgame is: Bans on 9mm.
Gee Whizz, “Joe,” what about the carnage in Chicago this weekend (shooting in River North, and the So Side..) but Patriots bad.
Reality and Joe Biden are rarely in the same room.
Dude doesn't know how to successfully take a dump. You think he'd know anything else?
As is the genius who wrote the article.
The DM is nothing but a celebrity cult rag with a sideline of govt propaganda.
In 2012 the charismatic Hugo Chavez managed to get Venezuelans to give up their guns. A century earlier the Bolsheviks did much the same.
But VP Harris owns a handgun, she said in 2019. I prefer Biden's "get a shotgun" weapons advice....
Name one thing that Joe has been right about! You can include all of his 92 years of existence.
Hundreds of sheriffs and police chiefs have warned Americans to be sure to be well armed and ready, that the police simply cannot protect us or our families and friends. If only due to the response time requirements.
Anyone who has not
heeded these menu advices may, quite frankly, pay the price of their negligence or folly.
Especially in light of the DemoCommieNazi street gangsters and looters and arsonists like BLM and Occupy and all the rest.
How can we trust Biden when he says things that are so obviously wrong?
Biden has unlimited ignorance about so many things his 50 year D.C. record is full of it another one of the democrats finest.
No wonder it took 2000 mules to drag him into office.

Or on the same planet
9mm FMJ is the reason Chicago has so many wounded as compared to killed.
Senile Joe, as usual, does not know what he’s talking about.
