Strongly agree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

A voluntary buyback with strong financial incentives aligns with the Self Respect ideology's emphasis on individual choice and autonomy. This approach allows individuals to decide whether to participate in the buyback program while still addressing public safety concerns.

Agree

No

The Self Respect ideology would lean towards not having a mandatory buyback of assault weapons, as it values individual rights and autonomy. However, it also acknowledges the importance of public safety, so the score is not extremely high.

Agree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

The Self Respect ideology values individual rights, including the right to bear arms.

Slightly agree

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

This answer represents a compromise between individual rights and public safety, which the Self Respect ideology might appreciate. However, the mandatory buyback aspect may still be seen as an infringement on personal freedom, resulting in a lower score.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

While the Self Respect ideology values individual rights and autonomy, it may not have a strong stance on the demilitarization of local police departments. The mandatory buyback aspect may still be seen as an infringement on personal freedom, resulting in a slightly negative score.
