I wonder if Amon and all those who support him and his "Equalist" movement realize something: Amon will never truly be able to rid the world of benders. Here's why: even if he were to somehow take away the bending of EVERY SINGLE PERSON (which would take forever, and I highly doubt is possible anyway), both the former benders and non-benders would still have children, and these children might be born with the ability to bend. You don't have to be a bender to have children that are benders, and having your bending taken away doesn't prevent this from happening, either. Even two non-benders can have a child who's a bender (for example, Katara and Sokka's parents were both non-benders, yet Katara still ended up being a waterbender). Also, it would be pratically impossible to find every single bender in the world, since people might lie about their ability in order to save it and might practice it in hiding, similiar to Haru in season 1 (even though he got caught). So, to sum it all up, unless Amon plans to kill every single person on the planet, there is almost no way to completely get rid of all benders.
