    Super-ness and gun ownership aren’t the same thing, and don’t work the same way.

    When everyone is armed, everyone can kill.

    When nobody is armed, a subset of people can kill.

    The former state of affairs is more fair, and hence less likely to lead to violence.

      Like if all would be Supes. Therefore equality.

      When nobody is armed, a subset of people can kill.

      A subset like Mr. Incredible against the masses of normal people. Total inequality.

      Regardless my stance on that topic (please see my edit on my first comment for that) I see an analogy between NRA blabla and the Syndrom quote.
