Why does no one ever seem to mention how X-men work pretty well as a allegory for gun owners/gun rights in the US?

because the only way to make an american chimp harder than talking about social rights is talking about guns or the notion of welfare.
Because guns are not a genetic trait you're born with. Guns are a tool that you can choose to have or not have.
True
If you want to take it that literal then it being used for racism wouldn't work either since no race has superpowers over the other.
But if you don't want to go that autistically literal, it works in how the mutants (gun owners) are more capable of hurting others so there are people who fear them and want them regulated to hell or just outright wiped out (ie gun ban)
because guns are cool and the xmen are lame
Because leftists hate guns and only the State should have them. Also, they are pussies.
because that's dumb and only conservatives would care
>Cops are racist
>Only cops should have guns
Makes me chuckle every time.
Racism doesn’t fit perfectly but comparing it to gun ownership is straight up retarded
Wanting someone to have a background check to get a dangerous weapon is not hating gun.
Do you have an actual reason as to why though?
Speak for yourself.
It's not 2010, grandpa.
I like the jew manifold. Normally a big more influential than a normal citizen.Have countries trying to kill them all.The UN do nothing about it. Making some extremists about the bowl ass. And then anyone acts like the small numbers of extremists made the problem in the fist.

What did he mean by this
The biggest reason is that you’re born a mutant, it’s not a choice. Gun ownership is 100% a choice. The only real similarity is that they’re both considered dangerous. Using that logic you could say the mutants are a great allegory for Antivaxers
I like the Anti-Semitism metaphor for the X-man. Normally a bit more influential than a normal citizen.Have countries trying to kill them all.The UN do nothing about it. Making some mutants extremists about the poop of anyone blaming and killing them for their own problems. And then the Anti-mutant acts like the small numbers of extremists made the problem in the fist.

Allegories don't have to be literal 1 for 1s and pretending like it's literal for any other interpretation is ridiculously acting in bad faith.
Uhhhhh... Because the writers have very explicitly stated it's an allegory for the Civil Rights Movement and fight against South African Apartheid?
>needs weapons used on battlefields to protect his trailer/above ground swimming pool.

Fight me IRL faggot. Bet you won't.

You’re right. I think the Xmen are an allegory for people who drive trucks. Thanks for opening my eyes. Anything can be an allegory for anything
Notice how you're so afraid to actually post anything of substance or arguments?
Huh, I was just reading this earlier today. What a weird coincidence
Also, completely agree with that allegory, the government wouldn't be so pissy about mutants if all they could do was fancy lightshows and cook really killer sunny side ups
the x-men are an allegory for people who put pineapple on pizzas.
>If you want to take it that literal then it being used for racism wouldn't work either since no race has superpowers over the other.
asians are smarter and blacks are stronger, bam
If anything, in modern days, it works better for the gun topic than the race one.
X-Men MAX where the X-Men are reimagined as a cult that starts out with benevolent intentions that grow increasingly warped by their isolation from society and violent confrontations with criminals and the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, a terrorist organization built and propped up by deep state spooks to push through legislation that place severe limits on the mutant population wen?
>asians are smarter and blacks are stronger, bam
Asians appear smarter because only smart asians were allowed into the US.
Blacks appear stronger, because as a result of segregation in schools, they were not able to get a proper education for a long time, and so physical athleticism was the only way for them to get noticed in society.
Your average rice farmer isn't any smarter than a redneck corn farmer.
A fat black nerd is no stronger than any white equivalent.
>The biggest reason is that you’re born a mutant, it’s not a choice. Gun ownership is 100% a choice. The only real similarity is that they’re both considered dangerous.
Okay, it's not a choice to BECOME a mutant. But if a cure or a method of restricting your powers exists, as often has been the case in the comics over the years, it's a choice to continue to be able to use those powers. And if it's morally acceptable to restrict a person's ability to buy and use a gun it should likewise be acceptable to restrict a person's ability to shoot fireworks, control people's minds, use magnetism to move submarines and nukes around, transform and impersonate anyone, etc.
Ironic that the peaceful solution for Civil War, shown in some what if, was simply to listen to common sense. The Super humans (for what reason) or mutants that are born with offensive powers are necessarily trained without being forced to work for the government.
They are filed, but this information remains private in the Avengers database, (more precisely in the head of Captain America, but wherever...) and they act as mediators between the government and the super-humans, by also taking direct responsibility.
This guy gets it.
>Blacks appear stronger, because as a result of segregation in schools, they were not able to get a proper education for a long time, and so physical athleticism was the only way for them to get noticed in society.
Fucking stupid. One small Kenyan tribe has produced the world's best long distance runners for decades. There are genetic differences in physical abilities, no matter how bad you want to blame everything on culture.
Because that's a completely retarded notion. You don't grow an impossible to remove gun at puberty, and gun ownership issues don't cover guns that shoot lasagna.
It's true.
Blacks tend to have longer legs, so they're better at sprinting.
Whites tend to have longer torsos, so they're better at things that focus on upper body strength
>in 2019 X-Men is more relevant to gun control than racism
He's right
>the UN do nothing about it
In what parallel universe?
Mutant cures are a dumb plot that consistently gets ignored right after it happens for a reason.
I'm not sure about this "blacks are stronger", usually most sports that measures pure strength like weightlifting are dominated by Slavs.
