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."

22 is OK because those are used to shoot at Republican Presidents.
MIRV’d or not, they’ll do the job.
And Biden is hosting that dirty little New Zealand shrew PM as we speak and talking trash about guns.
Biden would label a peashooter an assault weapon.
Well, it IS higher caliber than 7.62mm or 5.56mm....
But I suppose .40 or .45 is not an issue.
Nah.
They just want to ban handguns. Hell, they want to ban guns...in the hands of the citizenry.
Governments everywhere, past, present and future insist on a monopoly of lethal force.
It’s up to us to ensure they don’t get one.
Wait ‘til Obiden learns about 45 ACP. Then there’s gonna be hell to payy.
Sounds like Biden picked up on the old bait and switch technique.
Does it blow the lung out the back or does the overpressure turn it inside-out as it’s shoved out the mouth?
Biden shouted “Well, .40 is a fraction the size of 9!”
Then leaned in close to the mike and whispered “Literally.....A ....fraction.”
Yeah Baby, I got me an assault pistol. Well had, you know that damn lake:-)
What? Don’t they know those things are dangerous high-powered high-caliber weapons that blow lungs out of people and come with fully automatic clips? /s
The United States Constitution is quite clear that “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
Haha!!!
I think it's fair to say that a competent President has to wear different hats at times, a competent President, with resident Biden there is only one hat he is qualified to wear, the ...ASSHAT!
President Pike’s light bulbs are all burnt out.
Thanks, Joe! I was looking for a reason to carry my *10*mm more!
Joe was an eggplant BEFORE he supposedly got more votes than anyone in American history, now he is just a shell of an eggplant. Who CARES what he says?
So .22 caliber bullets are good, but 9mm’s are bad.
Don’t many AR-15 rifles use .22 caliber bullets?
rest assured he means 9mm and anything larger
