'No, it's not his belief'
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that President Joe Biden did not actually believe the verifiably false statement about background checks he made during a speech on gun control.
Critics of Biden pounced on his comments Thursday claiming that anyone could buy a gun at a gun show without a background check.
"Most people don't know it: you walk into a store to buy a gun, you have a background check, but if you go to a gun show you can buy whatever you want, no background check," Biden falsely claimed.
Washington Free Beacon firearms expert Stephen Gutowski explained why Biden was spouting gun nonsense.
"Biden just lied about how background checks work," Gutowksi tweeted. "He said gun shows are exempt from background check requirements. That is completely false. All that matters in terms of background checks is whether you are buying from a licensed dealer or not."
