Is this a result of a recurring scenario in his head of being assassinated? Because I can't see where else he would get it.
They aren't used in mass shootings. They aren't really used in crime at all. They are already NFA and its a pretty important principle that almost all weapons and accessories are available through some process. Well suppressors are already included in that more difficult process which means the only thing to do is actually ban them. We haven't banned automatic machine guns, tanks, flame throwers. Even MIT can have enriched uranium, a private institution.
How is he that worried about suppressors in the grand scheme of things?

It's more about setting a precedent than anything else.

A president of banning useful gun accessories? Why would Trump want to do that?
