I agree with you Felix (Holy SH*T!!!!!
). I place much higher importance over the taming of human killer instincts than over removing particular weapons. Our species has evolved aggressive tendencies as a means of surviving in 'natural' environments that nonchalantly kill off the weak of will or body. Yet now that homo sapiens have created their OWN environments, sans natural predators and elemental barrages, they can stand to un-evolve these aggressive traits too. Removing 'weapons' will not achieve this end. Only subtle psychological conditioning (rationality training, responsibility education, interdependence exposition etc etc), generation after generation after generation will dampen/deaden the anti-social side-effects of our species' communal lifestyle.
