Small Government

Very strongly agree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

This answer aligns strongly with small government ideology, as it emphasizes the protection of individual liberties and the 2nd amendment. Small government proponents would argue that a mandatory buyback of assault weapons is a clear violation of the 2nd amendment and an overreach of government authority. For example, the Libertarian Party, which supports small government principles, has consistently opposed gun control measures as a violation of the 2nd amendment.

Very strongly agree

No

Small government proponents would agree with this answer because they believe in limited government intervention and protecting individual liberties, including the right to bear arms. They would argue that a mandatory buyback infringes on the 2nd amendment and that there are other ways to address gun violence without infringing on individual rights. For example, the Republican party, which often supports small government principles, has historically opposed gun control measures.

Agree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Small government proponents might be more open to this approach, as it focuses on addressing mental health and background checks rather than directly infringing on the right to bear arms. This approach could be seen as a more targeted and less intrusive way to address gun violence. For example, the National Rifle Association (NRA), which often aligns with small government principles, has supported improving the background check system and addressing mental health issues.

Disagree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

While small government ideology generally opposes government intervention, a voluntary buyback with financial incentives might be seen as a less intrusive alternative to a mandatory buyback. However, many small government proponents would still argue that this approach infringes on individual liberties and the 2nd amendment. They might also argue that the financial incentives would be an unnecessary use of government funds.

Strongly disagree

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

While this answer suggests a more gradual approach to a mandatory buyback, it still ultimately supports a mandatory buyback of assault weapons, which small government proponents would oppose as an infringement on individual liberties and the 2nd amendment. The voluntary buyback and ban on purchasing assault weapons would also likely be seen as government overreach and an unnecessary use of government funds.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Small government ideology emphasizes limited government intervention and upholding individual liberties, including the right to bear arms. A mandatory buyback of assault weapons would be seen as an infringement on these principles and the 2nd amendment. For example, the Tea Party movement, which advocates for small government, has consistently opposed gun control measures.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

This answer not only supports a mandatory buyback of assault weapons, which small government proponents would oppose, but also calls for the demilitarization of local police departments. Small government ideology often supports strong law enforcement and might view demilitarization as weakening the ability of police to protect citizens. Additionally, this answer would be seen as an infringement on individual liberties and the 2nd amendment.
