President Joe Biden referred to the Glock .45 handgun, a popular firearm available in the civilian market, as a "weapon of war" during a recent gun control announcement.

What are the details?

The president was launching into remarks Thursday during a meeting with his Gun Violence Prevention Task Force when he made mention of fallen New York City Police Department officers Jason Rivera, 22, and Wilbert Mora, 27, who were ambushed and killed while responding to a domestic call last month.

"I’ve spoken to their families, and — and their loss for the city is also a loss for the nation," Biden said, adding, "You know, the future is cut short by a man with a stolen Glock with 40 rounds — a magazine with 40 rounds. And it’s really a weapon of war."
