White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Tuesday said President Biden does not support a ban on the sale of all handguns as lawmakers continue to feel pressure to do something following a series of tragic mass shootings. "He supports a ban on sales of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and expanded background checks to keep guns out of dangerous hands," she said. "He does not support a ban on the sale of all handguns." That same day, Biden appeared to suggest that 9mm be characterized as 'high-caliber' weapons and should be banned. Handguns in 9mm are the most popular in the United States, and are not considered "high-caliber" by most firearms experts.
