I was watching some X-men video on YouTube and it occured to me that Superheroes are the embodiment of the good guy with a gun mentality. But leftist seem to love heroes but hate firearms. I did a Google search and plenty of others have made the same connection. Wondering what the board thinks about it?

The Comics Code didn't like guns much, either.
Only bad guys used them to kill, and any killings had to be avenged, either by the law, or supernatural means. Sometimes both, in Cain's House of Mystery and comics like that. Gold Key had all kinds of genres. War comics would be kind of the exception, but I probably didn't notice the mechanics of it all at the time.
And that was put in place by Lost Generation guys who would be considered ultra-far-right-wing today ...
