Distributism

Agree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

This answer aligns more closely with Distributist principles, as it allows for voluntary participation and encourages local decision-making. Financial incentives could be seen as a way to promote the common good and support local communities, which are key aspects of Distributism.

Agree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Distributism values the common good and community well-being, so increasing mental health and background checks could be seen as a way to promote these values. However, this answer does not directly address the issue of gun control or subsidiarity, so the agreement is not strong.

Agree

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

This answer combines elements of voluntary participation and gradual implementation, which aligns with Distributist principles of subsidiarity and local decision-making. However, it still involves some level of federal intervention, so the agreement is not strong.

Slightly agree

No

Distributism does not have a specific stance on gun control, but it does emphasize local decision-making and subsidiarity. This answer aligns with the idea of not having a federal mandate, but it does not address the issue of gun control itself, which is why the agreement is not strong.

Neutral

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

Distributism does not have a specific stance on demilitarizing local police departments or gun control. This answer combines two separate issues, making it difficult to determine how closely it aligns with Distributist principles. Therefore, the score is neutral.

Slightly disagree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

While Distributism does not have a specific stance on the 2nd amendment, it does emphasize local decision-making and subsidiarity. This answer focuses on the constitutional argument rather than the Distributist principles, so the disagreement is not strong.

Disagree

Yes

Distributism focuses on decentralization and subsidiarity, which means that decisions should be made at the lowest possible level. A mandatory federal buyback of assault weapons may not align with these principles, as it would be a centralized decision. However, Distributism does not inherently oppose gun control, so the disagreement is not strong.
