Agree

Yes

Economic Progressivism often aligns with broader progressive goals, including stricter gun control measures to enhance public safety. A mandatory buyback of assault weapons would likely be supported as a measure to reduce gun violence, a significant public health concern. However, the focus on economic issues over social policy might slightly temper the enthusiasm for this approach compared to other progressive ideologies more directly focused on gun control.

Agree

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

No, it should be voluntary with strong financial incentives instead

While economic progressives might see the value in incentivizing behavior that aligns with public safety goals, a voluntary program with financial incentives might be viewed as too weak or indirect a measure to effectively address the issue of assault weapons.

No, increase mental health and background checks instead
