Captain Packing
So, Captain America (who we thought was dead, a victim of politics) is now packing a handgun. I’m rather disappointed that he didn’t get some sort of carbine like an M4, myself. But that’s probably hard to do with shield. But then, I wonder if Captain America would be subject to NFA regs?

Kind of funny to watch the fanboys go at it…

Haven’t followed comic books in a long time, (I’m a DC guy anyway) but reading up on the whole “civil war” thing I noticed many likened it to the Patriot act.
My first thought was gun registration.

I’m queer for
swordsedged weapons so I like the hilt peeking from the other side, too.October 17th, 2007 at 1:15 pm
He doesn’t need a gun:
When Captain America throws his mighty shield,
All those who chose to oppose his shield must yield!
If he’s led to a fight and a duel is due,
Then the red and white and the blue’ll come through
When Captain America throws his mighty shield!

The Ultimates universe Cap (still Steve) carried an M-16 and other firearms around… Different continuity, but still.
(Also a good deal more … world-wise, IMHO)

It is a NEW Cap Am, the old one died, and a new guy is taking his place. The old one is not being resurrected from the dead, if you were thinking that.
