He really said that?

Nothing in this article leads me in that direction, I'll say that.

The news about Trump is buried in a lengthy story in The Washinton Post on Monday about AR-15 style rifles....Trump told aides that he wanted to ban AR-15s, according to people present for the statements....“I don’t know why anyone needs an AR-15,” Trump told aides...according to a person who heard his comments....As one former official put it in describing the real estate developer turned politician, “His reflexes were a New York liberal on guns. He doesn’t have knee-jerk conservative reflexes.”

3rd hand Trump conversations. Gotta love em

I also think Trump is pliable. It's entirely possible he thought better of that idea. In fact, that's kind of what the article says.
