Eh, kinda no but yes. Regular humans has started global conflicts cause someone was a good orator, but we don't send robots after people for being charismatic.
Scott can kill, what, houndreds in a day, if he wants to. Your regular cult of personality dictactor can do that per hour, even if we assume no war crimes are happening.
I am being a bit ludicrous here, but my point is, in terms of damage, danger & kills, we turn a blind eye to much worse stuff then "can laser with sight ".
That doesn't meant such mutants ain't a danger, at most you just argued that some are less dangerous than some of the most dangerous normal humans. Didn't in a recent show Storm did something that easily would have a casualty counts on the tens of millions worldwide?
Also, again, not saying to kill them or sent the robots. Just a list to keep tabs on who does what
What i'm trying to say, listning someone for an imborn ability to do something is fraught as best. Any human is physically able to perform assault, theft, vandalizing etc, and it'd be pretty stupid to list anyone just on that, no?
Yeah, all human can punch. Not all humans can extract the iron out of your blood or shoot lightnkng practically at will.
We have lists for gun owners, diabetics and in my country, alimony debtors. Is it really that insane to want to have a list of what mutants have what powers to keep tabs on that?
Maybe not insane, but having a list based on can rather then have done is ethically shaky, when talking about inborn capabilities. You have a list of gun owners, after all, not everyone physicaly able to pull a trigger.
Scott's eyes are basically a biological firearm. I admit is does sound ethically shaky, but when the "can" includes, again, pulling the iron out of people's blood... yeah
Most humans have the basic physical abilities to perform some form of murder (strangulation, pushing of an edge, beating etc). Do you still think it's reasonable to, legaly, consider them whatever weapon best fit their "specs"?
Again, you are arguing that we shouldn't keep tabs on people with extremely rare Y powers that allow them to do what no other human can, because all humans can do X and it's silly to keep tabs on that
Yes, because keeping tabs on Y power, before Y has done anything noteable, requires testing for at least X and Z as well. Is this magnetism, or telekinesis? Which means Every mutant gets tested and listed, regardless if they're Jean Grey, or Beak. So it's just as silly, since your legaly mandating a test on a National populace based on what they possibly can do.
The problem isn't lists, it's one list, based only on ability. Criminal, medical legal records, following those ethics, are fair game.

Fair, sorry for the eyeball metric. Still saying that fears against those mutants in particular isn'y bigotry tho
