Indeed, indeed. I'll just post more reporting about the meeting for other folks who couldn't watch it:

The president appeared eager to position himself as a Republican who is willing to stand up to the powerful gun group and pushed GOP lawmakers to do the same.

Some of you are petrified of the NRA, Trump said. They do have great power over you people. They have less power over me. I dont need it, what do I need?

He promised to write an executive order banning bump stock, devices that make semi-automatic weapons fire more rapidly, telling lawmakers they can focus on other things when writing legislation.

He repeatedly urged members to put all their ideas into one single comprehensive bill as opposed to passing several piecemeal measures, suggesting one of the background check bills in the Senate could serve as the building block for overarching legislation.

It would be so beautiful if we could have one bill everybody could support, Trump said.

Trump had already expressed support for a modest bill, called Fix NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System), that would improve the existing criminal background check system for gun purchases by encouraging states to report relevant information to the federal database.

But Trump, who repeatedly called for strong background checks, asked whether Fix NICS could be merged with a far more expansive background check bill from Sens. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.).

He also suggested loading the bill up with other gun proposals, such as new age limits for rifles and language addressing incidents of domestic violence, and giving the bill a new name like "the U.S. Background Check Bill, or whatever."

"Let's add everything to it," Trump said.
