Gotta question here: How did Emma know that that was a prototype mutant inhibiting firearm and not just a normal gun?

Yupp. Hence the purse. She knew what to look for, before hand.

Do you guys think she's keeping it to use it on Shaw?
I can see her pulling an Adrienne on him, but no killing, "just" permanent depowering.
she also mindwiped the guy with the photographic memory of how the gun was made.. so now Emma has the gun AND knows how to replicate it... not bad... in a worse comes to worst situation where Krakoa civil wars or something now she has leverage.. very tactic of her.

Technically, it doesn't go again that law.
As a depowered mutant he can still live on Krakoa as other depowered mutants do. He still exists.
Even if she decides to kill him she won't be breaking any laws. Outright killing him would just set him up for the resurrection protocols...that's too good for him.
Besides...
For his crimes committed against Kate, the Council and Krakoa, I can see the QC members all voting to have has powers removed completely and exile him to the pit. It would be fitting punishment if somewhat lenient.

So, I just got through reading the issue and I am still feeling good about the build and the minor payoffs shown in this issue. I don't see how the scene with Emma would be "problematic", seeing that it is a clear promotion of civil rights, which is kinda the point behind the X-Men in a more (and thankfully) aggressive manner. It's also good to see that my prediction of a schism among the Quiet Council is coming true and every event in the issue only serves to raise the stakes. The only knock I have on this issue is the weaksauce fighting scenes (looking at you, 'Roro and Bobby). Now, if X-Force follows up and ties in with this plot thread involving Kate and the Resurrection Protocols, I'm set.
Overall: 9/10
Mutant and Proud
Krakoa FOREVER!!!
Technically but that depends on how they interepret the law. Of course he'd still be allowed to live on Krakoa but Emma would be purposely depleting their mutant numbers which goes directly against what they are trying to achieve.
Killing him would be a crime. Look what happened to Scalphunter whom presumably killed the Morlocks. It would need to be self defense but even then that didnt seem to work in Scalphunter's favor. Mutants cant just go around killing each other bc there are Resurrection protocols
Shaw's crimes are not known. If and when that comes to light, he risks being punished. Which is why i also said Emma would need to not get caught bc once she is, then she also risks being punished
Why Limbo? Thats a death sentence, especially to someone with no defenses. Humans that get sent there do not come out. A better option would be to banish him to the Krakoa pits as Sabretooth was

Consigning Sabretooth to the pit is essentially doing the same as depleting the mutant numbers. Shaw himself depleted the mutant numbers by killing Kate...so his eradication would suit his crime.
Once his crimes are known...I don't see the QC being lenient. And they themselves can decide the mode of punishment.
Where Emma would be compromised is if she herself goes against the QC's ruling.
Personally...I can see TPoS being on trial. The QC is undecided as to punishment. Emma then smartly plays her hand and suggests using the gun on him...as a form of poetic justice. The QC majority agrees.
