No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Conservatives strongly believe that mandatory buybacks of assault weapons are a violation of the 2nd Amendment. They argue that the right to bear arms is a fundamental individual liberty protected by the Constitution and that such measures infringe on this right. This belief is a core tenet of conservative ideology and is supported by organizations like the NRA and the Republican Party.

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Many conservatives support increasing mental health and background checks as an alternative to gun control measures like mandatory buybacks. They argue that addressing mental health issues and ensuring that only responsible individuals have access to firearms is a more effective way to reduce gun violence. For example, the NRA has advocated for improving the background check system and addressing mental health issues in the United States.

Disagree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

While some conservatives may be open to voluntary buyback programs with financial incentives, the majority still oppose any form of gun control. They argue that such measures are ineffective in reducing crime and infringe on individual liberties. However, there may be some moderate conservatives who would support this approach as a compromise.

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

While this answer includes a voluntary buyback and a ban on purchasing assault weapons before enforcing a mandatory buyback, most conservatives would still oppose this approach. They argue that any form of gun control, including bans and buybacks, infringes on the 2nd Amendment and individual liberties. However, some moderate conservatives may be more open to this approach as a compromise.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

Conservatives generally oppose both mandatory buybacks of assault weapons and the demilitarization of local police departments. They believe that the 2nd Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms and that demilitarizing the police would hinder their ability to protect communities. This stance is consistent with conservative support for law enforcement and opposition to gun control measures.
