Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

Demilitarizing local police departments in addition to instituting a mandatory buyback of assault weapons strongly aligns with collectivist ideologies that prioritize community safety, equality, and minimizing power imbalances within society. This comprehensive approach to reducing societal violence and promoting safety is highly consistent with collectivist values.

Strongly agree

Yes

Collectivism emphasizes the importance of collective action and the welfare of the group over individual rights. A mandatory buyback of assault weapons could be seen as a collective action to improve public safety. However, the score is not a full 5 because collectivism does not inherently advocate for gun control, it depends on the specific context and goals of the collective.

Strongly agree

Yes

Collectivism emphasizes the importance of community and societal well-being over individual rights. A mandatory buyback of assault weapons could be seen as a measure to protect the collective safety of the population, aligning with collectivist values. However, the lack of emphasis on community involvement in the decision-making process might slightly reduce the agreement.

Agree

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

This answer supports a form of collective action, but it is initially voluntary before becoming mandatory. Collectivism generally supports mandatory actions for the benefit of the group, but a phased approach could also be seen as a form of collective action.

Agree

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

This approach balances the need for community safety with a phased implementation, which might be more acceptable to collectivist ideologies. The initial voluntary phase allows for community participation, while the eventual mandatory buyback aligns with the goal of collective safety.

Agree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

While a voluntary buyback with financial incentives might appeal to collectivist ideologies by promoting community safety, the voluntary nature of the program might be seen as less effective than a mandatory approach in ensuring the collective good. Therefore, the agreement would be moderate.

Slightly agree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Increasing mental health and background checks aligns with the collectivist goal of societal safety but does not address the broader issue of the widespread availability of assault weapons. This approach might be seen as a partial measure, leading to a slight agreement.

Disagree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Strongly disagree

No
