So I was taking a walk around Sears today and on their bevy of flat screen tv's I see the trailer for a Marvel Video game that basically shows super heroes fighting each other because of a government enforcement of a Super Hero registration act.
This is the video game spin off of a story arc in the marvel universe where Super Heroes are forced to register with the US government, tell the gov. their secret identity, the powers they possess and the weaknesses that they have. Some of the superheroes see this as sensible superpower laws...you know...to protect the children, while others (Captain America among them) view this as an affront on the American way of life and the constitution. Cap and his crew are then made outlaws and brandished as cowboys, extremists and wackos.
Perhaps I'm reading into this a bit much but I see a direct correlation between the Superhero Registration act and any type of gun registration.
This isnt the first time that Marvel has made allusions to their disdain for government registrations as shown with the Mutant Registration act in which just mutants had to register with the government. First they registered, then the government came for them and took them to experiment on them and use their powers. After all, only the government can use these powers for their own self interest.
So, thoughts?
And for the smartasses who want to ask "what does this have to do with Open carry" I'll say that the Super Heroes have their powers shown openly and therefore they open carry their awesomeness.
