Twitter community adds context to Breaking911’s tweet: According to Townhall, Biden claimed in a speech, “Made it harder for people to buy stabilize braces. Put a pistol on a brace, it turns into a gun — makes it more — you can have a higher-caliber weapon, higher-caliber bullet coming out of that gun.” The news organization Breaking911 tweeted Biden’s statement: “BIDEN: ‘Put a pistol on a brace, it turns into a gun — makes it more — you can have a higher-caliber weapon, higher-caliber bullet coming out of that gun!’” The tweet also contains a video clip of Biden’s speech. Twitter added a warning label to the post. The warning says, “Readers added context they thought people might want to know. A stabilizing brace does not in any way affect the ballistics of a pistol, for example altering the caliber of the weapon. A brace attaches to the weapon and one's forearm allowing for greater control over the weapon.” The label essentially explains that Biden’s claims are incorrect. It also links to two articles, one by US Concealed Carry Association and another by Concealedcarry.com.
