I like the heart, and in a world without money and its power over Others, that would work splendidly! It's basically what I propose in a society of Ethical sovereigns.
Sadly, money will buy anything and most anyOne to agendas of the Ones with the money. And thus a guilty One can pay Others to claim no guilt. "He couldn't have done it! He was with Me that night way over there!"
I include financial assault as the use of force. Under this proposal, if I hire someone (debt collector) or employ someone (police) to force my will upon someone else then I would be just as guilty of using force as the person I hired to execute my will. Once force is outlawed and personal responsibility is restored money will no longer have the power to buy evil and evade accountability.
While I agree that using money to pay bullies to do things is a crime, sadly, when One has accumulated enough money, One can pay the bullies, witnesses (and non-witnesses), lawyers, judges, juries, and on and on. Virtually everyOne has a price, and if They don't, the bullies will handle Them.
Just "outlawing" something does not work. If it did, no One would be using the drugs They outlawed. And while making drugs outlawed will not solve drug problems, if We could take them completely out of the picture it would. (That will never happen.)
But... We CAN take money out of the picture and effectively give back to Humanity what was stolen from Them - Their share of the wealth of Our planet. And that is why I aim for that goal, rather than merely outlawing things money can buy (it's already illegal to bribe...but People still do it).
Getting public support for taking the weapons of war and ammunition out of the picture should be easier than convincing people to eliminate money altogether. We never really tried to outlaw drugs because they make too much money for the cartels that control things. Obviously if drugs were really removed, we wouldn't have a drug problem. Instead, taxpayers now supply them free to addicts.
And yeah, there are many "laws" on the books making it a criminal offense to use this drug or that. I remember friends who were arrested for smoking an herb.
Violence is now being imported into our communities as militant refugees are subsidized to become citizens. To maintain peaceful communities we will need to preserve the social right to detain and restrain violent criminals. Unfortunately this will prolong the legitimate use of force as self-defense. As weapons are abolished and ammunition becomes unavailable the threat of violence will gradually diminish and a more level social playing field will develop.

And other things, bought and paid for.
