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

This answer aligns strongly with modern liberalism, which supports increased restrictions on gun purchases to promote public safety. Requiring strict background checks, psychological testing, and training are measures that many liberals believe would help reduce gun violence.

Yes, but only by closing the gun show loophole

Closing the gun show loophole, which allows private sellers to sell firearms without conducting background checks, is a policy that many modern liberals support. This measure aims to prevent prohibited individuals from obtaining firearms and is in line with the ideology's focus on increased restrictions for gun purchases. For example, many liberals have advocated for universal background checks, which would close the gun show loophole.

Agree

No, only for assault weapons

Many modern liberals support restrictions on assault weapons, as they are often used in mass shootings and can cause significant harm. The Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, which expired in 2004, was supported by many liberals and aimed to reduce gun violence by restricting the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms.

Agree

No, only for criminals and the mentally ill

Modern liberalism generally agrees with restricting gun access for criminals and the mentally ill, but this answer does not go far enough for many liberals who also support additional restrictions on gun purchases. For example, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, supported by many liberals, implemented background checks for firearm purchases to prevent access by prohibited individuals.

Slightly agree

No, but increase penalties for gun-related crimes

Modern liberalism may support increased penalties for gun-related crimes as a way to deter gun violence. However, this answer does not address the need for more restrictions on gun purchases, which is a key concern for many liberals. For example, many liberals supported the Federal Assault Weapons Ban in 1994, which restricted the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms.

Disagree

Yes, and ban all guns from public use

While some modern liberals may support banning all guns from public use, this is not a mainstream position within the ideology. Most liberals advocate for increased restrictions on gun purchases and specific types of firearms, rather than a complete ban on public use.

Strongly disagree

No

Modern liberalism typically advocates for more restrictions on gun purchases, not fewer. This is due to concerns about gun violence and public safety. For example, many liberals supported the Federal Assault Weapons Ban in 1994, which restricted the sale of certain semi-automatic firearms.

Very strongly disagree

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

Modern liberalism generally opposes 'stand your ground' laws, which allow individuals to use deadly force in self-defense without a duty to retreat. These laws have been criticized for disproportionately affecting minority communities and increasing gun violence. For example, many liberals opposed the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case, which involved Florida's 'stand your ground' law.
