President Biden ranted against ownership of what he called “high-caliber weapons” Monday — appearing to suggest that there should be restrictions on the most popular handgun in America, the 9mm pistol, and repeating a previously debunked claim that the Second Amendment prohibits ownership of cannons.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House after returning to Washington from a weekend that included a visit to the site of last week’s mass shooting in Texas, Biden recounted a visit to a trauma hospital in New York, where he said doctors had showed him X-rays of gunshot wounds caused by various firearms.
“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,” Biden said. “A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body.
“So the idea of these high-caliber weapons is, uh, there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of thinking about self-protection, hunting,”

Because the US Constitution says we have that right, and the Supreme Court has repeatedly confirmed it. It's a God given right.
Unless the barrel is stamped ".223 Remington" or ".308 Winchester" (.300 between the lands). Even NATO screws it up with .50 BMG, 12.7×99mm NATO is .498 (12.6 mm) between the lands.
I’m not a gun expert.. like biden..but isn’t a 9mm similar to a .22 cal..?
I’m quite happy with my 357 magnum. (158 gr. Hornady XTP and 8.6 grains of Accurate no. 5)
“Unless the barrel is stamped “.223 Remington” or “.308 Winchester””
Which describes the cartridge the gun is designed for. This satisfies ATF for caliber stamping.
Come get mine $&&hole!!!
No one hunts deer with a nine millimeter... morons
I guess I know approximately the year of.my death.
Shut it, you stinky-diapered old crook.
They are why we need tanks, cannons, shoulder fired hand granades, fighter jets, a well armed Navy ship or 40 of them, good working modern automatic rifles and 200 million rounds to go with them as well as a very good supply of .45 cal handguns and ammo.
The 2A is all about the citizens protecting themselves from just this kind of heinous out of control government.
All wearing the stupid masks.
Jackass disohnors our war dead.
Just get a 1911 .45 instead of a 9mm and make Pedo-Joe happy!
We need them to just let this guy keep on talking.
AR’s can shoot .22?
There are, in fact, AR platforms that can shoot .22LR, but the vast majority of them are .223 and 5.56. Those are similar in diameter to .22LR but have a much larger cartridge case and have more power behind them.
“No one hunts deer with a nine millimeter... morons”
Lots of deer killed with 9mm.
Lots of deer killed with 9mm.
then that would mean that a 10 round mag is justified?
