Superman declares that to save America, he has to take away all firearms. Americans in the comic would take offense of course. They hide their guns. They try shooting Superman. But he always finds them. He cannot be stopped. And it turns into the states of America uniting against Superman. Is it a good thing? Is it a bad thing? Is Superman a hero or villain for doing so? That depends on your personal beliefs. The comic would not outright state that he is either. --- "Well, it's not a bad game. It's made by Capcom, so how could it?" ~ AVGN ... Copied to Clipboard!

Both Superman and The Flash aren't politicians, they haven't been voted in, nor do they have any authority besides that deriving from their powers. These are not two politicians discussing party direction, these are two people with super powers discussing how they will "make people safer", through using force. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Thats an example of a ruling power deciding for you whats right or wrong, and just like the comic said, people resent them for it.

One that both sides employ. Like I said, the big talking point right now is that homosexual marriage will be next up on the chopping block, as a result of the slippery slope from the abortion ban. --- You haven't set a signature for the message boards yet ...

Abortion rights are an issue of bodily autonomy, which is fundamental to any free society. The issue of gun rights are based around a misinterpretation of a text that was written 300 years ago.

crayola555 posted... Flash is straight up forcing it and his arguments makes no sense whatsoever His arguments make sense in the comics because Superman gets increasingly intense with both his tolerance for crimes and the severity of punishment. This isn't really a debate on gun control that they're having, it's Flash explaining to Superman where the road he's walking leads. Eventually Superman ends up just killing people who disagree with him. Later in the story that conversation wouldn't have happened. If Superman told Flash "go take the guns" and Flash tried to argue he would just be killed on the spot. Remember comics aren't real life. Just because something doesn't work in comics doesn't mean it doesn't work in real life. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ...
