...I want to know where some of these gun owners live so I can stay the fuck away from there.

Anyway. I do think the cure should be a thing for mutants who don't want their mutation; Rogue is the poster child for them. However, X3 strongly implied/all-out stated that it wasn't a cure, it was a suppressant, so they'd have to take it more regularly. Power suppression drugs are still sort of the same thing, but it makes me less uncomfortable than calling it a 'cure' because...mutation is not an actual disease or anything.

And I can see registering powers that have specifically combat applications. Like, Pyro? Register him. Any and all mind-power mutants? Register. Kid who can blink through TV channels or write from spoken word by holding their hand above the page? Not necessary. There's borderline ones too; I'd err toward registering Iceman and Shadowcat whose powers are not necessarily combative but they are combat-trained, but I know there's mutants in the comics with stuff like 'makes fireworks' and 'understands any language' who I don't think need to be.

So basically I agree yeah, anyone whose powers have the ability to be inherently destructive or combative on their own should be registered.

Yeah, it makes more sense to think it's a suppressant rather than a cure.

Which means pharmaceuticals would make a ton of money off it, just like with any other long term medication.
