President Joe Biden suggested he wants to ban 9mm handguns in remarks to reporters on Monday at the White House’s South Lawn.

As he visited Texas over the weekend, officials “showed me an x-ray ... he said, ‘a 22-caliber bullet will lodge in a lung and we can probably get it out ... and maybe save a life. A 9mm bullet, blows the lung out of the body,'” Biden said.
