Yes, and we should also demilitarize local police departments

Very strongly disagree

No, this is a violation of the 2nd amendment

Democrats generally do not view buyback programs as a violation of the 2nd Amendment, as they argue that the amendment allows for reasonable regulation of firearms. This position is in contrast to many Republicans, who often argue that buybacks infringe on constitutional rights.
