Harry S. Truman

Agree

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

Truman was a proponent of mental health initiatives, signing the National Mental Health Act into law in 1946. Therefore, it's likely he would have supported measures to increase mental health and background checks for gun ownership.

Agree

No

Given the historical context of Truman's presidency, it's likely he would have been more inclined to agree with this statement. The concept of a mandatory buyback of assault weapons is a modern idea that did not exist during his presidency.

Slightly agree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Truman was a supporter of the Constitution and likely would have been cautious about any measures that could be seen as infringing on the 2nd Amendment. However, his views on gun control are not well-documented, making it difficult to definitively say how strongly he would have agreed with this statement.

Slightly agree

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

While Truman may have been open to some forms of gun control, the concept of a voluntary buyback with financial incentives is a modern idea that did not exist during his presidency. Therefore, it's unclear how strongly he would have supported such a measure.

Disagree

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

While Truman may have been open to some forms of gun control, the concept of a voluntary buyback and ban on purchasing assault weapons before enforcing a mandatory buyback is a modern idea that did not exist during his presidency.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

Truman was president during a time of increasing militarization due to the Cold War, and there's no evidence to suggest he would have supported demilitarizing local police departments. Therefore, it's unlikely he would have strongly agreed with this statement.
