Civil Libertarianism

Very strongly agree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Civil libertarians would strongly agree with this answer because they believe that mandatory buybacks of assault weapons are a violation of the Second Amendment. They would argue that the right to bear arms is a fundamental individual right that should not be infringed upon by the government. This view is supported by the 2008 Supreme Court case District of Columbia v. Heller, which affirmed an individual's right to possess firearms.

Very strongly agree

No

Civil libertarians would agree with this answer because they believe in protecting individual rights and liberties, including the right to bear arms. They would argue that mandatory buybacks infringe on these rights and that there are other ways to address gun violence without violating the Second Amendment. For example, they may point to the 2008 Supreme Court case District of Columbia v. Heller, which affirmed an individual's right to possess firearms.

Agree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Civil libertarians may be more supportive of this answer because it focuses on addressing the root causes of gun violence, such as mental health issues, without infringing on individual rights. They may point to historical examples where increased background checks and mental health support have been effective in reducing gun violence, such as the 1993 Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act.

Agree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

While civil libertarians generally oppose gun control measures, they may be more open to voluntary buybacks with financial incentives as a compromise. This approach respects individual choice and does not force gun owners to give up their weapons. However, it is still a form of gun control, so some civil libertarians may still be opposed to it.

Neutral

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

This answer is a mix of two issues: gun control and demilitarization of the police. Civil libertarians would likely disagree with the mandatory buyback aspect, as it infringes on individual rights. However, they may agree with the demilitarization of local police departments, as it aligns with their concerns about government overreach and the protection of individual liberties. The mixed nature of this answer makes it difficult to assign a clear score.

Disagree

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

Civil libertarians would likely disagree with this answer because it still involves a mandatory buyback, which they view as an infringement on individual rights. While they may be more open to a voluntary buyback and a ban on purchasing assault weapons, the mandatory aspect of this answer would still be seen as a violation of the Second Amendment.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Civil libertarians prioritize individual rights and liberties, including the right to bear arms. A mandatory buyback of assault weapons would be seen as an infringement on these rights. Historically, civil libertarians have opposed gun control measures, such as the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban.
