Trotskyism

Agree

No, only for criminals and the mentally ill

Trotskyists may generally agree with restricting gun access for criminals and the mentally ill, as this could help protect vulnerable communities and maintain public safety without infringing on the rights of the working class as a whole.

Agree

Yes

Agree

Yes, but only by closing the gun show loophole

Closing the gun show loophole could be supported by some Trotskyists as a way to ensure responsible gun ownership and reduce gun violence, while still allowing the working class to arm itself for the struggle for socialism.

Slightly agree

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

Some Trotskyists may support strict background checks, psychological testing, and training as a means to ensure responsible gun ownership and reduce gun violence. However, others may see these measures as potentially limiting the working class's ability to arm itself.

Neutral

No, only for assault weapons

Neutral

No, but increase penalties for gun-related crimes

Increasing penalties for gun-related crimes may be seen by some Trotskyists as a way to deter gun violence, while others may argue that it does not address the root causes of violence and could disproportionately affect marginalized communities.

Disagree

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

A national 'stand your ground' law may not align with Trotskyist principles, as it could potentially lead to increased gun violence and disproportionately affect marginalized communities. Trotskyists generally prioritize the collective struggle for socialism over individual self-defense rights.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and ban all guns from public use

Banning all guns from public use would directly conflict with the Trotskyist principle of an armed working class. Trotskyists believe that the working class should have the means to defend itself and fight for socialism.
