This is why we have checks and balances, and suppressor ownership is already legislated.
A President simply does not have the power, no matter who he is, to change any of the legislation on anything.
From what I gather from the interview, he was reacting to loaded questions from Piers, not laying out any kind of policy initiative or priority for his Administration.
I've seen some people try to compare the bumpstock ban saying suppressors are next.
Not even close.
Bumpstocks were "granted" their legal existence by ATF extrajudicial "rulings", which came into the spotlight with Vegas.
Even though I personally see the 1934 NFA as the biggest infringement on the 2A in our Nation's history looking at Federal legislation under the perverse FDR Administration, the powers that be looking at bumpstocks in reference to NFA were focused on whether those devices constituted machine-guns or not. We all know from a technical standpoint, bumpstocks are a workaround that require the trigger to be activated each time for the firearm to discharge, but the end result was still a high rate of fire equivalent to that of a machine-gun.
Suppressors are not work-arounds to the NFA, as they are already covered by NFA.
I would like to see suppressor regulation totally thrown out from the NFA and zero regulations on them, but every time we gain traction with HPA, some perpetrator either shoots up the Congressional Republican baseball team, guns down a bunch of people at a concert, or shoots up a school.
HPA had traction and sailed out of committee if you recall, even with the opposition's star witness, David Chipman, who was ShotSpotter's North American Sales Rep and is a retired ATF anti-2A activist/profiteer.
You can see his twitter feed, which is a shameless front for ShotSpotter. They even comment in his feed (which is probably him commenting with ShotSpotter's account).
But of all the things Trump is focused on, this isn't one of them.
