Consumer Protection

Very strongly agree

Yes, require strict background checks, psychological testing, and training

Requiring strict background checks, psychological testing, and training aligns strongly with consumer protection ideology. These measures aim to ensure that only responsible and qualified individuals can purchase firearms, thus reducing the risk of harm to consumers and promoting safety.

Strongly agree

Yes

Consumer protection ideology focuses on ensuring the safety and well-being of consumers. More restrictions on purchasing a gun could help prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands, thus protecting consumers from potential harm. However, this score is not a 5 because consumer protection does not inherently call for strict gun control.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only by closing the gun show loophole

Closing the gun show loophole would help ensure that all gun purchasers undergo background checks, which aligns with consumer protection ideology. This measure aims to prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands and protect consumers from potential harm. However, this answer does not address other potential restrictions that could further protect consumers, such as psychological testing and training requirements.

Agree

No, only for criminals and the mentally ill

Restricting gun purchases for criminals and the mentally ill aligns with consumer protection ideology, as it aims to prevent firearms from falling into the hands of potentially dangerous individuals. However, this answer does not address other potential restrictions that could further protect consumers, such as background checks and training requirements.

Agree

No, but increase penalties for gun-related crimes

Increasing penalties for gun-related crimes could deter potential offenders and protect consumers from harm. However, this answer does not address the need for preventative measures, such as background checks and training requirements, which are more closely aligned with consumer protection ideology.

Slightly agree

No, only for assault weapons

Restricting the purchase of assault weapons could be seen as a measure to protect consumers from potential harm caused by these weapons. However, this answer does not address other aspects of gun control that may be relevant to consumer protection, such as background checks and mental health evaluations.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and ban all guns from public use

Banning all guns from public use may be seen as an extreme measure that goes beyond the scope of consumer protection. While it could potentially reduce gun-related harm, it may also infringe on individual rights and liberties, which is not the primary focus of consumer protection.

Disagree

No

Consumer protection generally supports regulations that protect consumers from harm. Keeping the current process without additional restrictions may not align with the goals of consumer protection, as it could potentially allow dangerous individuals to obtain firearms.

Strongly disagree

No, and the government should pass a national “stand your ground” law

A national 'stand your ground' law would likely not align with consumer protection ideology, as it could potentially lead to more gun-related incidents and harm to consumers. Consumer protection focuses on minimizing risks and ensuring safety, which may not be achieved with this law.
