That's the crux of Cap's argument- and it has it's merits, but remember that they were regulating people that were already breaking many laws with their vigilantie activity- and training them, along with backup would prevent such things like that super-powered teen hero that got his head blown off in the recent Fear Itself X-Force.
No one even knew that kid was misssing untill the Purifiers killed him on TV!

He was just some guy that got powers and put on a costume o be like his own heroes- no training or support- and no backup if things went badly.
And bad guys took him hostage, blowing his brains out.

So yeah, I can still see the anti-reg POV- particularly when parts of the government have constantly tried to wipe out mutants and had pans to deal with superhumans in general eventually.
Not that Cap ever helped the X-Men with their Sentinel attacks or anything, right Steve-O?


In a nutshell, they should have kept parts of what Tony established, but doing away with the database was a good idea, considering the government abuses the MU often seems to have.


As to the "Hunting heroes" thing, Tony had several chances to nail the New Avengers and let them slide...which was easy to do since they generally just fought the Hood's gang and sulked.
And fought ninjas- lots of lots of ninjas. So many ninjas that Spidey and Clint were cracking wise about it.
Whole lotta ninjas.
