In your hypothetical scenario, banning the eggs for that use would only cause the illegal egg-weapon market to go underground, making it harder to track, stop, or regulate. You need more than blanket bans, you need checks and balances, individual case by case workings, and to avoid emotionalistic appeal to exception fallacies (I suppose car bombing in Israel means that Arabs should be forbidden to drive cars).
