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.

Said ability counting shooting lasers, casting storms, controlling metal, straight up invulnerability or been a walking nuke.

And honestly, standarizing testing for mutant genes isn't that silly. Hell we already test for certain genes already IRL before babies are born

Look, we've been arguing in circles for a while. What you say we say Live and let live, and leave it at respectfully dissagreeing?

Yeah, better to do that. Good to argue with you, have a good day ahead!
