Now take that same scene, and put it in a world where all guns had been taken and destroyed and you have a recipe for disaster. When countries go to war, many times they make major advancements in their fighting and weaponry. Those advancments are WELL DOCUMENTED for later use. Lets say all guns are gone. They have technology and plans to make more.
A recipe for disaster? More disasterous than war? Oh wait, wars have been around longer than guns. So what you must mean is, a war in which we'd have to be face to face with the human adversary the whole time and couldn't simply push a button to blow up some village in Laos.

Sure, we have, as a species, made progress from our own desire for destruction. But maybe it's possible that we could make the same sort of progress through medicine, or some other science.
