Joe Biden Is Lying About Guns

 

On Thursday, the President of the United States got on national TV and lied to your faces. Calling for a ban on "assault weapons" (a misnomer label created by the left-wing media and left-wing politicians) and large capacity magazines, Biden said the assault weapons ban "greatly reduced mass shootings" and the at when it was allowed to expire "mass shootings tripled." He went on to say that 9mm ammunition is "high caliber ammunition that will blow a lung out of the body." He insists he was told that by an ER physician.

None of those first three things have any merit. Simple research shows that during the weapons/magazine ban mass shootings stayed steady at an average of 17 per year. Sure, that's a lot. But banning "weapons of war," (so called by people who know nothing about firearms) did not reduce mass shootings eve a little bit. And when the ban expired mass shootings increased... to an average of 19 per year. Hardly triple. It's a blatant lie meant to play on the emotions of the American people. And it seems to be working.

A 9mm bullet is a small caliber round that can be fired by a pistol or a rifle. It has less mass than a .38 caliber bullet and far less than a .44 or .45. It is not really a high velocity round, such as a .223, but can pass completely through the body if it's a jacketed round. It leaves a small hole, about the size of a pencil eraser, both front and back. And while it can easily perforated a lung it cannot and will not remove a lung from the body. That is impossible. Even a .223 round, the most common AR-15 round, does not do that. And no honest ER doctor would ever say it does. If a doctor actually said this to Biden, which I highly doubt, he was telling Biden what he wanted to hear.

During my career I was on four different special operations teams and trained regularly with M-16 rifles, 9mm rifles and 9mm pistols. I am very familiar  with their operation and with what each bullet can do. Joe Biden is a liar. He lies intentionally in an attempt to push his anti-gun agenda forward.

If you're going to make a sound decision about gun control at least educate yourself to the truth about guns instead of simply taking the word of politicians and the media as truth. Informed decisions are always best.
