I haven't read Matt's link yet but I wanted to answer in general to your thought.

There is a tic to anything Trump says.  I know I have filter my own dislike for the man over and over (failing a lot of the time).  But he lacks the gravitas to make these statements (with me at least) because he seems to lack sincerity most of the time.  The issue with the bumpstocks has been in the public arena since the Vegas shooting.  That he just now says something rings hollow to a lot of people.

Maybe he wanted to study it more.  Maybe he wanted to get input from people before issuing a statement or memo.

But based on his past impulsiveness and lack of empathy he doesn't get the wiggle room other president's have.

At least that is what I see in what I read and with the people I talk too.
