A President simply does not have the power, no matter who he is, to change any of the legislation on anything.
From what I gather from the interview, he was reacting to loaded questions from Piers, not laying out any kind of policy initiative or priority for his Administration.
In both cases his response was, "I'm going to look into it." It's a matter of historical record that after "looking into it," Trump ordered the bump stock ban.
What he will do in this instance remains to be seen.
