Unlike guns, mutant powers are things people are born with and cannot chose to remove. We can't penalize people for what they are, and at the center of all of this is the fact that mutants are people just like everyone else. So no forced registration.

So you're fine with someone walking around with the power to destroy lives and even entire cities, all because they were born with it? What a bizarre and arbitrary criterion for whether or not large amounts of power should be recorded in a registry.

If they're going to destroy a city, they're going to destroy a city. I'm not sure what having their name on a list is going to do about that.
Someone could say the same thing about gun registration

If anything, your rubrick is bizarre and arbitrary because you're the one advocating for across the board registration for mutants of a "certain power level" which is a vague cut off point here and needs clear and precise definition if it's going to become policy with which we can impinge upon the rights of citizens who have done nothing wrong.
We don't narc on people born into high risk neighborhoods or communities on the 'threat of their future criminality.' We punish criminals for the crimes they commit. That's why, I'm advocating registering only those mutants who have committed crimes, to preserve the rights of all citizens.
They should be registered at birth because you never know who's powers will eventually become omega level
It would be crazy to just let people walk around without knowing if they have the power to destroy an entire city in 5 seconds or whatever

So then are you going to be consistent by saying that we should register only gun owners who have committed crimes?
Unlike guns, mutant powers are things people are born with and cannot chose to remove. We can't penalize people for what they are, and at the center of all of this is the fact that mutants are people just like everyone else. So no forced registration. No compulsory drafts (unless everyone gets hit with a draft like in Israel or South Korea). These things have to be applied fairly.
That said, just like we keep records on felons, mutants who break the law should be registered, if for nothing else, so that law enforcement knows how to properly house incarcerated mutants for their terms, and so that law enforcement doesn't go in blind to certain situations dealing with criminally inclined mutants. This is not all that different from what we do felons now.
And we don't have to.

And we don't have to.

You're assuming they'll end up doing that. For all you know, they could become monks and spend their entire lives in seclusion.
You clearly don't know the canon, mutants are those with the x-factor gene
DON'T PRODUCE MAGICAL f***ING NUKE PHYSICS BREAKING POWERS FOR f*** SAKE.
You can't just leave up to chance.
At the very least, high risk mutants should get education to help them control their abilities
