I’m trying to find out what pac is behind the ads on NewsMax claiming Trump planned with Diane Fienstiens to confiscate all guns.

Well, it is true.

Trump was ready to sign onto Feinstein's assault weapons ban.

After a school shooting in Florida, Trump was talking about red flag laws and he said: "We're going to take the firearms first and then go to court."

Of course, recently, Trump said he would negotiate a federal abortion time limit that the whole country would be OK with.

So, if you want your rights negotiated away and our biggest abortion victory setback for another 50 years, vote Trump.

Trump was of course talking about people whose families had sought help because their family member was making threats and who was in their opinion mentally impaired. There is always a balance between rights and identified danger to the public.
While it is a grave action to confiscate or restrict access to an individual’s guns if someone is mentally ill, such as a paranoid schizophrenic, there should be a mechanism to evaluate and treat that individual or hospitalize then for treatment rather than waiting for them to murder. The mechanism needs to err on the side of rights & freedoms but in the most serous cases some intervention is indicated even if only evaluation rather than confiscation, hospitalization.

...then vote for DeSantis. He has no problem ditching freedom of speech when signing bills in another country.
