President Biden took aim Monday at one of the most common types of firearms owned by Americans in what appeared to be a gun-related technical flub.
Speaking about his past experience with congressional hearings on “rational gun laws” and a visit to a New York trauma hospital, Mr. Biden appeared to confuse the different types of bullets used by semiautomatic handguns vs. military-style assault rifles.
“They showed me an X-ray and said a .22-caliber bullet will lodge in a lung, and we can probably get it out and save a life. A 9mm bullet blows the lung out of the body,” Mr. Biden told reporters at the White House. “The idea these high-caliber weapons — there’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection, hunting. … There’s only one reason for something that can fire 100 shots.”
Rounds of 9mm ammunition typically are used in handguns; most rifles use different rounds. The AR-15 fires a .223-caliber or 5.56x45mm bullet.
Critics on Twitter were quick to point out the difference or suggest Mr. Biden was calling for a ban on common handguns.
The president went on to say that the “Second Amendment was never absolute.”
