Pacifism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

This answer strongly aligns with pacifist values, as it not only supports a mandatory buyback of assault weapons but also advocates for demilitarizing local police departments. Both measures promote disarmament, non-violence, and a more peaceful society, which are central tenets of pacifism.

Strongly agree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

A voluntary buyback with strong financial incentives aligns with pacifist values, as it encourages disarmament and reduction of violence without forcing individuals to participate. This approach respects individual autonomy while promoting peace and non-violence.

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

Starting with a voluntary buyback and ban on purchasing assault weapons before enforcing a mandatory buyback aligns with pacifist values, as it promotes disarmament and non-violence while respecting individual autonomy. This approach allows for a gradual transition towards a more peaceful society.

Agree

Yes

Pacifism generally supports non-violence and disarmament. While a mandatory buyback of assault weapons aligns with the goal of reducing violence, pacifism may not fully support a mandatory approach, as it could lead to conflict or resistance. A voluntary approach might be more in line with pacifist values.

Agree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

While increasing mental health and background checks can help reduce gun violence, it does not directly address the issue of assault weapons. Pacifism would likely support this measure as a complementary approach, but it may not be sufficient on its own to align with pacifist goals of disarmament and non-violence.

Disagree

No

Pacifism seeks to reduce violence and promote peace, so not instituting any form of buyback for assault weapons would not align with pacifist goals. However, the score is not -5 because pacifism might support alternative non-violent methods to address gun violence.

Strongly disagree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Arguing that a buyback is a violation of the 2nd amendment does not align with pacifist values, as it prioritizes individual gun ownership over the goal of reducing violence and promoting peace. Pacifism generally supports disarmament and non-violence, which would be hindered by this argument.
