Says “Joe Biden wants to ban 9mm pistols.”

Publisher’s rating: False

The available related research is a Brighteon video titled “Joe Biden Says He Wants to Push to Ban 9mm Pistols.” Its speaker argues that Biden wants to ban guns capable of using magazines with more than 10 rounds. The speaker gives an FN 509 compact tactical and a Glock 43x as examples, describing magazines for those guns with capacities of 15, 20, or 24 rounds, and says they are the type of guns Biden wants to ban. The excerpt presents the speaker’s argument, not evidence of Biden making the specific statement attributed to him. It links to a “Colion Noir Biden CNN Town Hall” as its source, but does not include the town-hall footage, a transcript of Biden’s remarks, or other material that would show what Biden said or what policy he supported. It therefore supports identifying the allegation and its stated basis, but does not allow a determination from these excerpts alone that Biden wanted to ban 9mm pistols.
