Or Trump. He’s stupid enough to actually say that stuff
The Manchin/Toomey gun control bill is the same universal background check legislation supported by Barack Obama in the wake of the heinous attack on Sandy Hook Elementary School. Colbert, ever the political satirist, mocked Trump's claim that Obama was an obstacle in the way of the Republicans' gun control bill (that's completely inaccurate, the opposite was true) by saying that he remembers "how Republicans were begging Obama to sign the GOP Gun Control Bill, but Obama couldn't get it done because Americans demanded to keep their guns to shoot down all the flying pigs." Hah!
"You want to talk about all the guns they want to ban, everything that people are wanting to do, it's all for naught if you can't have a background check and knowing who shouldn't be able to buy a gun", he added. "They have great power over you people, they have less power over me".
Colbert showed a clip of Trump's criticizing Republican lawmakers for being too loyal to the NRA, and then another one of the president going after a Republican-suggested provision to any potential bill concerning concealed carry across state lines.
But, Colbert said, he has no explanation for what happened this afternoon, when President Donald Trump invited members of congress to a bipartisan meeting to address gun violence in America.
When it was Rep. Scalise's time to speak, he highlighted the crime-fighting value of concealed carriers and the need to pass national reciprocity legislation. Colbert said in his "Late Show" monologue.

"Or, Mike, take the firearms first and then go to court".
"You'll never get that passed".
Trump spoke of the using the Manchin/Toomey bill "as a base" to which other gun bills can be added, and then continued taking comments from various senators and representatives in attendance. "Take the guns first; go through due process second".
"I've never seen him more determined and willing to do whatever he needs to do in order to try to bring some sanity and order to this whole gun issue", Manchin said on CNN's "New Day". "He coming for your guns".
