Even though apparent interest in this topic has died I'll give this a small bump incase the majority didn't see it.

No, because people can be bad with or without the technology. It should be the behaviour that is banned not the weapon or means.

True. Though then the question becomes: Should it be banned because it could possibly induce really, really bad behavior that violates people? Drugs can do that, and drugs are banned in most places. (I'm not picking a side with this response, I'm just giving options)

Should we outlaw knives because they can cut people?

Nunchucks and other japanese weaponery are banned in some states in the US yet because they cause greater bodily harm then, say, a stick.

Besides, if there were a lot of money to be made in this new technology, then the government would probably be backing it, it which case they wouldn't cut themselves off.

The Government isn't above illegal activity.
Although you have sound arguements/reasoning, it isn't really tackling the big question, just making smaller ones that aren't really needed (because different states have different laws).

Sounds an awful lot like the matrix to me. I say we ban the matrix. Bad matrix.

Yes it does, though I'm not talking about something made up in a movie. (Although that's what this disscussion really is, the technology is more open to the public and they can actually unplug when they need to)
