9mm is one of America’s most popular calibers, this neat little cartridge goes into most of the handguns that Americans rely on for Self-Defense.
9mm is the preferred cartridge for self-defense because of its small size. A handgun chambered in 9mm is going to hold more ammunition than one chambered in .45 cal. This is ideal because in a high-stress self-defense situation you can not solely rely on your range training.
President Biden recently came out to denounce 9mm as a “high caliber” cartridge and boasted about its capabilities saying that the round would “blow the lung out of the body.” Biden would go on to say that these rounds are not legitimate self-defense rounds. “There’s simply no rational basis for it in terms of self-protection,” the president said.
Joe Biden suggests he wants to ban “high caliber” 9mm handguns.

This is disinformation, plain and simple. Sadly, many will think that what the President is saying is true simply because they are not familiar with firearms.
