VERDICT: FALSE.
Joe Biden alluded to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, the passage of which protected gun manufacturers from lawsuits in scenarios where the gun in question was legally made and legally sold. He equated this protection with “absolute immunity,” saying it “has caused carnage on our streets. 150 million people have been killed since 2007 when [Bernie Sanders] voted to exempt the gun manufacturers from liability.”
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lists the number of American deaths for the year 2008 as 2,471,984, for 2009 as 2,437,163, and for 2010 as 2,468,435. The leading causes were heart disease, cancer, respiratory problems, and accidents.
In 2017, the numbers were very similar, with death totals at just over 2,800,000.
150 million Americans did not die due from gun violence between 2007 and 2020.

What is the Meme Generator?
It's a free online image maker that allows you to add custom resizable text to images.It operates in HTML5 canvas, so your images are created instantly on your own device.Most commonly, people use the generator to add text captions to established memes,so technically it's more of a meme 'captioner' than a meme maker.However, you can also upload your own images as templates.

- You can further customize the font in the More Options section, and also add additional text boxes.Imgflip supports all web fonts and Windows/Mac fonts including bold and italic, if they are installed onyour device.
