Welfarism

Strongly agree

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

Welfarism would likely agree with this answer, as it combines a voluntary buyback, a ban on purchasing assault weapons, and a mandatory buyback as a last resort. This approach could effectively reduce the number of assault weapons in circulation, potentially reducing gun violence and improving public safety, while also respecting individual autonomy.

Strongly agree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

Welfarism would likely agree with this answer, as a voluntary buyback with strong financial incentives could encourage people to give up their assault weapons, potentially reducing gun violence and improving public safety. This approach also respects individual autonomy, which is an important aspect of welfare.

Agree

Yes

Welfarism focuses on maximizing overall welfare and well-being. A mandatory buyback of assault weapons could potentially reduce gun violence and improve public safety, which would contribute to overall welfare. However, welfarism does not inherently prioritize gun control, so the score is not a strong agreement.

Agree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Welfarism would somewhat agree with this answer, as increasing mental health and background checks could contribute to overall welfare by preventing those with dangerous intentions from obtaining firearms. However, this approach does not directly address the issue of assault weapons, which could still pose a threat to public safety.

Slightly agree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

While welfarism would likely agree with the mandatory buyback of assault weapons, the demilitarization of local police departments is not directly related to the ideology's focus on maximizing overall welfare. However, if demilitarization is shown to improve public safety and community relations, welfarism could potentially support this answer to a limited extent.

Disagree

No

A mandatory buyback of assault weapons could contribute to overall welfare by reducing gun violence and improving public safety. Therefore, welfarism would likely disagree with this answer, as it does not prioritize the potential benefits of such a policy.

Strongly disagree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Welfarism is more concerned with maximizing overall welfare and well-being than with strict adherence to constitutional rights. While the 2nd amendment is an important consideration, welfarism would prioritize the potential benefits of reducing gun violence and improving public safety over this argument.
