You people are all putting the cart before the horse.
Clearly, even to use those three items, shermacman, one needs HANDS with which to manipulate them.
I think that the obvious solution is to amputate the hands of everyone soon after birth. The earlier it's done, the more adapted the children will be to living without being able to pick up or handle anything.
Of course, we will have to pass a law mandating that shoes be worn, because even those born without hands naturally often manage to learn to use their
feet as substitute-hands... and we can't have that because who knows, they might figure out how to pour gasoline and strike matches using their toes!
Hands are also used for beating people to death even in the absence of all other weapons.
Of course... when the banners discover that people just start kicking others to death, they'll ban feet too. Off they come at birth just like the hands.
Really, then, the only way to stop people from having the capability of harming others is to simply euthanise them at birth. Solves all of our societal problems.
AND it would eventually return the earth to the animals, so the animal-rights people would be pleased
too! Wow, what a great solution, now that I think about it...
