Classical Liberalism

Strongly agree

No, only for criminals and the mentally ill

Classical liberalism supports individual rights but also recognizes the need for some regulation to protect public safety. Restricting gun access for criminals and the mentally ill aligns with this balance between individual rights and public safety, making it a more agreeable position for classical liberals.

Agree

No

Classical liberalism values individual rights and limited government intervention, which includes the right to bear arms. While not all classical liberals may oppose additional restrictions, many would argue that the current process is sufficient or that restrictions should be minimal. This score is not a strong agreement because classical liberalism does not inherently oppose all forms of regulation.

Agree

No, but increase penalties for gun-related crimes

Classical liberalism supports individual rights but also recognizes the need for some regulation to protect public safety. Increasing penalties for gun-related crimes could be seen as a way to deter criminal activity without infringing on individual rights to bear arms. However, this score is not a strong agreement because it is not a core tenet of the ideology.

Agree

No, and the government should pass a national “stand your ground” law

While classical liberalism supports individual rights and self-defense, it does not necessarily advocate for a national 'stand your ground' law. The score is positive because classical liberals may see this as a way to protect individual rights, but it is not a strong agreement because it is not a core tenet of the ideology.

Neutral

Yes, but only by closing the gun show loophole

Closing the gun show loophole could be seen as a reasonable regulation by some classical liberals, as it addresses a specific issue without broadly restricting individual rights. However, other classical liberals may view this as unnecessary government intervention. The score is neutral because the ideology does not inherently support or oppose this specific regulation.

Slightly disagree

No, only for assault weapons

Classical liberalism generally supports individual rights and limited government intervention, which includes the right to bear arms. However, some classical liberals may be open to restrictions on specific types of weapons, such as assault weapons, if they believe it would promote public safety without infringing too much on individual rights.

Disagree

Yes, require strict background checks, psychological testing, and training

While classical liberalism acknowledges the need for some regulation to protect public safety, the ideology generally supports limited government intervention. Strict background checks, psychological testing, and training may be seen as too intrusive or burdensome by some classical liberals, leading to a disagreement with this answer.

Disagree

Yes

Classical liberalism emphasizes individual liberty and limited government intervention.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and ban all guns from public use

Banning all guns from public use goes against the core principles of classical liberalism, which values individual rights and limited government intervention. This position would be seen as a significant infringement on individual liberties, leading to strong disagreement from classical liberals.
