President Joe Biden appeared to suggest that he was open to banning most handguns in addition to military-style rifles during a CNN-sponsored town hall event in Cincinnatti that was only about half-full.
“I’m the only guy that ever got passed legislation when I was a senator to make sure we eliminated assault weapons,” Biden said, referencing the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act that included a ban on so-called “assault weapons.”
“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, whether it’s a 9mm pistol or whether it’s a rifle, is ridiculous,” he continued.
The ‘assault weapons’ ban was allowed to sunset after a decade by a then-GOP-controlled Congress in 2004. Subsequent research by the Justice Department and other entities found that the ban did virtually nothing to curb gun crimes, though similar studies found that gun law enforcement was more effective.
“I’m continuing to push to eliminate the sale of those things, but I’m not likely to get that done in the near term,” Biden added.
Biden wasn’t clear about whether he meant that he wants to ban 9mm handguns outright or gun magazines that hold more than 20 rounds. Most handgun magazines that come with the gun hold fewer than 20 rounds and in some cases, far fewer.
Nevertheless, Republicans jumped on Biden’s comment and vowed never to let him pass a handgun ban.
