Agree

Agree

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

This answer aligns with Humphrey's pragmatic approach to gun control. He might have seen a voluntary buyback and ban on purchasing assault weapons as a first step, followed by a mandatory buyback if necessary.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

Disagree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment
