He also said: "I generally oppose gun control, but I support the ban on assault weapons and I support a slightly longer waiting period to purchase a gun. With today’s Internet technology we should be able to tell within 72-hours if a potential gun owner has a record." (From Trump's book
The America You Deserve.)
He also was the first president
ever to ban a gun accessory by executive order.
He also implied that he would support Diane Feinstein's assault weapons ban. (See:

Barack Obama said he wasn't going to try to take away your guns. And, to be honest, he made fewer gun grabbing moves than Trump has. Obama even signed executive orders
rescinding gun control measures by Ronald Reagan. (See:

And no, I'm not a fan of Obama. I consider both he and Trump to be gun grabbers. I could care less what a politician
says. I care what he
does. What kind of guns does Trump support law abiding citizens to have? I was listening to Patriot radio and I heard a Trump supporter call in complaining about Kristen Gillibrandt's recent attack on the second amendment (apparently Kristen is either so stupid as to not know that Trump did the bumpfire stock ban or too dishonest to admit it) and the caller lit into Gillibrandt, but then went on to say that she, the "conservative call" supported "reasonable" gun control like banning assault rifles. (Hmmmm...sounds like Trump.)
Trump's bumpfire stock ban sets a dangerous precedent. A future president could ban other gun accessories by executive order. Consider this. You can bump fire using a belt loop or a rubber band. So how can you
really prevent something like the Las Vegas shooting? Why you have to ban high capacity magazines. (That is if you think banning gun accessories is the solution as Trump apparently does). And banning high capacity magazines won't solve the "problem" because they can easily be 3D printed. So you have to ban civilian ownership of guns that can take magazines. There ya go. Assault weapons ban by stealth. Something Trump said he wanted anyway.
