Show HN: I built a political quiz that maps ideologies in 3D using 39 dimensions

  It said I was a centrist who believed in regulation and domestic protection. I don’t understand what the cube was for though.

    Do you agree with the results? Made the cube just for fun, to help you visualize the social scale (progressive<->conservative)
    • rawgabbit 1y ago
      Yes.

        I'm glad it worked well! I have the same beliefs btw. What's your stance on gun control
        • rawgabbit 1y ago
          I grew up in the South and former military. I don't own any guns and I live in Texas where I assume everyone is carrying a concealed firearm. I'm comfortable with people owning guns but do believe that open carry/brandishing is a no go. It's a long way of saying, I don't believe gun control works and I also don't believe a hand gun necessarily makes you safe. But if people thinks a hand gun is necessary, I'm OK with it. If I was a politician who is trying to reduce gun violence, a common sense approach to me is to limit the amount of ammunition that the average citizen can buy per month. I understand if you go hunting or wanting to defend yourself, you may want two boxes with 20 bullets each. If you're target shooting at a range, the range can sell you an unlimited amount but you must use it all at the range. I don't understand why people feel the need to stockpile thousands of rounds.
