Why don’t you ask him yourself? He already Tweeted about this in 2018. Here’s what he said:

“Obama Administration legalized bump stocks. BAD IDEA. As I promised, today the Department of Justice will issue the rule banning BUMP STOCKS with a mandated comment period. We will BAN all devices that turn legal weapons into illegal machine guns.”

Sounds like he thought that a ban would benefit him politically. Sound that way to you? See, I use a man’s words to answer questions about him. That is the only evidence we have. It is just too bad for ardent Trump supporters that he doesn’t really have any true stance on anything other than what is good for him.

Now, did it benefit him politically? I would say that people who failingly support him will continue to do so, even if it means they lose rights as a result. So, yeah, it benefited him, but not in the way you might think.
