He appears to have made a verbal miscue and meant that he wants a federal restriction on magazine capacity, which is consistent with gun control measures that he and other Democrats have previously pushed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy legislation says there can be no more than eight bullets in a round,\u201d he told NowThis News on Oct. 23. \u201cThe guys doing these mass killings, they have magazines, they call them, that can hold up to 100 bullets in it. That\u2019s just like having an automatic weapon, which we\u2019re not allowed to have by the way, supposedly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden didn\u2019t elaborate on how magazine capacity correlates to whether a firearm is semiautomatic or fully automatic.<\/p>\n<p>Later in the interview, Biden also falsely claimed that\u00a0AR-15 rounds \u201ctravel five times the speed of an ordinary bullet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For years, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/mkt_app\/biden-proposes-ban-on-high-capacity-gun-magazines-that-hold-100-rounds_3796032.html\">Biden and Democrats<\/a> have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/democrat-lawmakers-announce-gun-control-bill-banning-magazines-holding-more-than-10-rounds_3777354.html\">sought to criminalize<\/a> what they describe as \u201chigh-capacity magazines,\u201d which doesn\u2019t have a clear definition. Legislation introduced last year in the Senate would ban magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, mirroring regulations in places such as New York state and California.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Justice (DOJ) wrote in a 1999 report (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ojp.gov\/pdffiles1\/173405.pdf\">pdf<\/a>) that a 1994 federal ban on such magazines didn\u2019t lead to a significant drop in shootings or murders. Democrats counter that barring the ownership and sale of such magazines would trigger a drop in mass shootings.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation\u2019s recent drop in gun violence,\u201d the DOJ also stated in 2004. \u201cShould it be renewed, the ban\u2019s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Biden signed a gun control measure into law, representing the most sweeping gun law in decades. It came about a month after a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left nearly two dozen people dead.<\/p>\n<p>Key provisions of the legislation include expanding federal background checks for buyers between the ages of 18 and 21, adding incentives for states to adopt so-called red flag laws, expanding access to mental health programs, and enhancing school security in a bid to prevent mass shootings.<\/p>\n<p>The measure will also help provide $750 million in funding as an incentive to enforce red flag laws in the 19 states and the District of Columbia that have them, making it easier to temporarily confiscate <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/t-guns\">guns<\/a> from people who are deemed to be a danger to themselves or others.<\/p>\n<p><em>Tom Ozimek contributed to this report.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"author_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"one_author_block round\">\n<div class=\"top_row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/author-jack-phillips\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2019\/06\/13\/Jack-Phillips.jpg\" alt=\"Jack Phillips\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"names\">\n<p>Breaking News Reporter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Follow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Jack Phillips is a breaking news reporter at The Epoch Times based in New York.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden said on Oct. 23 that he\u2019s pushing a limit on gun owners having more than \u201ceight bullets in a round.\u201dIt\u2019s unclear exactly what Biden meant because a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1894920,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[547],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1710322","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-bongino-report"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1710322","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1710322"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1710322\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1894920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1710322"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1710322"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1710322"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
