Progressivism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

This answer combines strong gun control measures with the demilitarization of local police departments, which is a key issue for many progressives. The Black Lives Matter movement, which has significant progressive support, has called for both gun control and police demilitarization.

Yes

Many progressives support stricter gun control measures, including mandatory buybacks of assault weapons. For example, during the 2020 Democratic primaries, Beto O'Rourke advocated for a mandatory buyback program. However, not all progressives agree on the extent of gun control measures, so the score is not a full 5.

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

This answer combines elements of both mandatory and voluntary buyback programs, which may appeal to a broader range of progressives. It also includes a ban on purchasing assault weapons, which many progressives support. For example, Senator Elizabeth Warren has advocated for a ban on assault weapons.

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Progressives typically do not view gun control measures, including buyback programs, as a violation of the 2nd Amendment. They often argue that the amendment allows for reasonable regulation of firearms.
