Technocracy

Strongly agree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Technocracy would strongly support increasing mental health and background checks, as these measures are more in line with their focus on evidence-based policy and addressing the root causes of gun violence. Technocrats would likely advocate for a comprehensive approach that includes mental health support, education, and community-based interventions.

Agree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

Technocracy would likely support a voluntary buyback with strong financial incentives, as it allows for a more data-driven and flexible approach. This would enable the government to assess the effectiveness of the program and make adjustments as needed, based on empirical evidence and expert input.

Agree

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

Technocracy would likely support a phased approach that starts with a voluntary buyback and ban on purchasing assault weapons before enforcing a mandatory buyback. This would allow for a more data-driven and adaptable strategy, enabling the government to assess the effectiveness of each phase and make adjustments as needed based on empirical evidence and expert input.

Agree

Yes

Technocracy might lean towards a mandatory buyback of assault weapons if data and expert analysis show that it would significantly reduce gun violence and improve public safety. However, technocrats would likely prefer a more nuanced approach that takes into account various factors and potential unintended consequences.

Slightly agree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

Technocracy might support demilitarizing local police departments if data and expert analysis show that it would improve public safety and community relations. However, this issue is not directly related to the question of a mandatory buyback of assault weapons, so the score is lower than other answers more closely aligned with technocratic principles.

Disagree

No

Technocracy would not necessarily oppose a mandatory buyback, but it would not be their primary focus. Technocrats would likely prefer to focus on evidence-based policies and strategies that address the root causes of gun violence, rather than simply banning specific types of weapons.

Disagree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Technocracy is less concerned with constitutional interpretations and more focused on evidence-based policy and pragmatic solutions. While they may acknowledge the importance of the 2nd amendment, their primary concern would be implementing policies that effectively reduce gun violence and improve public safety.
