The first weapon ever used by man, was probably a rock. Since then, man has consistently developed better and better weaponry. Unless you live in a fantasy bubble, where rocks are marshmallows, and wooden sticks are cotton candy, there is no way to rid the world of weapons. Even then, someone would undoubtedly find a way to forge marshmallows and cotton candy into a weapon.
Waterhead, I realize, in your fantasy world, things would be better if there were no guns or bombs, but the reality is, these things exist. So the question is, do you simply want to take these from the ethical and honest people who have the best intentions and give them to the evil and dishonest, who don't have good intentions? Any rule or regulation you impose, would certainly be followed by the good and honest, and certainly be ignored by the evil and dishonest. That is just plain old human nature and reality.
Trying to promote peace by eliminating guns, is equivalent to trying to promote security by eliminating locks.
