Evil Queen Regina at some point (I think when she was talking to Belle) states that True Love is powerful enough to break any curse. IN season 2, the first time we see Emma do something magical is during the confrontation at Lake Nostos. Cora (with her hand in Emma's chest) says that Love is Weakness. Emma responds that Love is Power. The thread continues in the background through seasons 3 and 4.

It was bottled True Love, combinded with the waters from the wishing well, that restored Magic to Storybrooke.

Love as a Powerful and dangerous weapon is not a new topic. Now, I think it will be interesting to take this idea, which has been around since the very beginning, and really explore it. It could be really interesting. Love has been used to brake curses (multipile times), to defend yourself (Cora unable to take Emma's heart because of true love) and Rumple using it to restore magic in SB. But to use it as a litertly wapon, that's never been done before, unless you cunt Rumple manupulating Belle. I think we will see Emma (when she will become evil) using Hook's love for her to draw him back to the darkness, so that he does her bidding. So (IMO) love has never been used literitly as a weapon. But that's just the way I interpreted the "Love is a dangerous weapon".
