Should the federal government institute a mandatory buyback of assault weapons?

Yes

No, increase mental health and background checks instead

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

Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

Yes because it is not needed. There should be an option to use assault weapons “for fun” in gun ranges after a background check and mental health check

No assault weapons is a vague missleading and poorly defined term

Yes, but start with a voluntary buyback and ban on purchasing assault weapons before enforcing a mandatory buyback and we should also demilitarize local police departments

No, and there is no such thing as an "assault weapon"

Yes, but start with a voluntary buyback and ban on purchasing assault weapons before enforcing a mandatory buyback; AND we should also demilitarize local police departments

No, this increases likelihood of discrimination of people desperate for monetary gain and many people just won’t do it and it is not going to solve the larger issues

9737eAssault riffles and most other riffles should be held in places other than homes. They should be held in monitored secure locations (the room itself should have a steel or iron door or similar, similar door frame, and an appropriate locking mechanism, no windows, and no easy way in from the ceiling or roof, if applicable), gun ranges are one example type of location, hunting lodges are another. They can be taken off premises but not by someone under the influence, acting crazy, already has blood on them or their clothing or other suspicious appearance or has alcohol in their vehicle. Using…  Read more any firearm while inebriated should be a crime. As would be taking the weapon home. There would be provisions for extenuating circumstances. The locations of these secure weapon facilities would not have to be registered, and the government should not actively try to document all these locations.
When a weapon is retrieved, the owner must say when the weapon will be returned. If it is not returned by that time, the local police should be notified, and their home addresses given to police. If police visit the address and find the weapon, the owner will be issued a citation, fine and the weapon confiscated for 1 month. Failure of the storage facility to report it in a timely manner entails legal liability for any crime in which the weapon is used, and also is punishable by incarceration. Any weapons stashed somewhere other than a secure facility, where the owner is not present, will be confiscated permanently, and a hold placed on purchasing rifles for no less than 5 years.
If one lives in the woods where there are grisly bears or other large life-threatening animals where a pistol is inadequate protection, riffles can be maintained there.
I also would not be opposed to allowing more dangerous weapons that stay at these facilities, but when moved between facilities, it must be moved by armored car, by professional security. In time of war, where there is acknowledged armed invasion, any and all weapons can be retrie

No, increase mental health and background checks instead, and have a limit on how many guns you can own.

No, such decisions should be decided at the county and municipal levels

Yes, but it should first ban the sale of assault weapons

No, It should require a license to carry and come with background checks

No, most citizens don't own assault weapons.

Yes, only for non-whites. Afterwards I’m fine with reforming it as well, so it don’t get out of hand.

No, we should not be giving money to someone that bought an assault weapon

They should reduce the amount they give to the public

No, the government cannot be trusted

Assault weapons don’t exist

Yes, but only for citizens under the age of 21 and with financial compensation

Yes, but ONLY if we demilitarize local police stations

Yes, repeal the 2nd Amendment and ban civilians from owning all firearms, and knives over 6 centimetres long.

No, but have a high tax or quarterly payment to maintain them.

No, but ban future sales.

this violates the 2nd amendment and our rights as american citizens to defend ourselves

No, but I think all assault weapons and anything that's not a pistol should be returned. Also more mental health, background checks, and a test for complete understanding of the weapon. Every 1-5 years it should repeat

No, However there needs to be much stricter regulation. You need specific licenses with psych evals to own types of guns. The more detrimental the more difficult it is to get and more training you need to pass.

No, require more training and certification to own firearms instead.

we should do background checks on people, they need to be mentally checked to see if they are even safe to have a gun.

No, and demilitarize police departments

NO, in that GOVERNMENT has NO CONSTITUTIONAL AUTHORITY over RIGHTS. ALL CITIZENS should be WELL ARMES and very well and EQUALLY TRAINED!

No but more needs to be done a possible ban with red flag laws raising the age to buy a gun to 21 cracking down on straw purchases stricter sentencing and a banning attachments that allow guns to replicate the fire of automatic weapons could help. Also magazine capacity.

No, only AR-15s and AK-47s, and increase mental health and background checks

Yes, and also increase mental health and background checks. Not everyone needs a gun.

not enough background info

We should make it harder for people below the age of 21 from buying ar-15s or other assault style weapons because they are the most likey to be used in a active shooter situation
