Politifact, a “fact checking” site, claims without evidence that:
No, Joe Biden doesn’t want to ban handguns
The gaslighting is spectacular. The article even quotes Biden:
“The idea you need a weapon that can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon, whether it’s a 9-millimeter pistol or whether it’s a rifle, is ridiculous. I’m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things.”
Politifact claims that this means “only” that President Elder Abuse wants to ban magazines. But he specifically said that he’s pushing to ban weapons that “have the ability” to fire twenty rounds. Bypassing the obvious point that even a single-shot flintlock can fire twenty rounds (it’ll take a quarter hours to do it, but you can do it), there are easily available 20 and 30 round magazines for common handguns. There are drum magazines you can plug into your Glock that hold 50 rounds. This means that your average handgun “can have the ability to fire 20, 30, 40, 50, 120 shots from that weapon” which means Biden wants to ban it.
So either Politifact is lying or Biden is.
Here’s a 20-round magazine for a .45.
Here’s a 40-round drum for a .45.
Here’s a 50-round drum for a .40 Glock.
Here’s a 50-round drum for a 9mm Glock.
