Laissez-Faire Capitalism

Very strongly agree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Laissez-faire capitalism strongly supports individual rights and minimal government intervention. This ideology would view a mandatory buyback of assault weapons as a violation of the 2nd Amendment and an overreach of government authority. Historical examples include the opposition to the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which was seen as an infringement on individual rights by laissez-faire capitalists.

Slightly agree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Laissez-faire capitalism generally opposes government intervention, but increasing mental health and background checks may be seen as a more reasonable and less intrusive approach to addressing gun violence. This answer does not involve direct government control over the market or individual rights, making it more acceptable to laissez-faire capitalists than other options involving buybacks or bans.

Disagree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

While a voluntary buyback with financial incentives is less intrusive than a mandatory buyback, laissez-faire capitalism still generally opposes government intervention in the economy and individual rights. This ideology would likely view financial incentives as an unnecessary use of government funds and an attempt to manipulate the market. However, the voluntary nature of the buyback may make it slightly more palatable to some laissez-faire capitalists.

Strongly disagree

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

Laissez-faire capitalism opposes government intervention in the economy and individual rights. This answer involves both a voluntary buyback and a ban on purchasing assault weapons, followed by a mandatory buyback. While the initial voluntary buyback may be slightly more acceptable, the overall approach is still seen as an infringement on individual rights and an overreach of government authority, making it largely opposed by laissez-faire capitalists.

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments
