Liberal Democracy

Very strongly agree

Yes, but start with a voluntary buyback and ban on purchasing assault weapons before enforcing a mandatory buyback

This answer represents a more gradual approach to gun control, which many liberal democracies might support. Starting with a voluntary buyback and a ban on purchasing assault weapons allows for a balance between individual rights and public safety. This approach has been implemented in countries like New Zealand, where a voluntary buyback program was introduced following a ban on semi-automatic firearms.

Strongly agree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

A voluntary buyback with strong financial incentives is a more moderate approach to gun control, which many liberal democracies might support. This approach respects individual rights while encouraging responsible gun ownership. For example, the United States has implemented voluntary buyback programs in various cities with some success.

Agree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Increasing mental health and background checks is another moderate approach to gun control that many liberal democracies would support. This approach focuses on preventing those with a history of violence or mental illness from obtaining firearms, rather than targeting specific types of weapons. For example, the European Union has implemented stricter background checks and mental health assessments for gun owners.

Agree

Yes

Liberal democracies generally support gun control measures, but the extent varies. Some may support a mandatory buyback, while others may prefer less restrictive measures. For example, Australia implemented a mandatory buyback program in 1996, which was successful in reducing gun violence. However, not all liberal democracies would agree on this approach.

Slightly agree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

While some liberal democracies may support demilitarizing local police departments, this issue is not directly related to the question of a mandatory buyback of assault weapons. However, it does reflect a broader concern for public safety and the role of law enforcement in society. Some liberal democracies, such as the United States, have seen growing calls for police demilitarization in recent years.

Disagree

No

Liberal democracies generally support some form of gun control, so they would likely disagree with a complete rejection of a buyback program. However, the extent of support for gun control measures varies, so some may not support a mandatory buyback.

Strongly disagree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Liberal democracies generally support some form of gun control, so they would likely disagree with the argument that a buyback program is a violation of the 2nd amendment. However, the extent of support for gun control measures varies, and some may be more concerned about individual rights than others.
