Weapons are being financed by governments. the "right" of having a gun, is exactly what the corporations that sustain your government wants. They are preparing the people for war, convincing then that learning how to kill in "self defence" is a good concept, but is all the opposite. Is not the first time this happens in human history. sorry but no, bitcoin has nothing to do with mass production of guns industry in the US.
I don't want to contribute to the off-topic discussion, so I'll conclude this topic with a clarification. Just as I believe that money should be separate from the state, the monopoly of violence should also be abolished. If we leave the monopoly of violence in the hands of the state, we will not have moved towards a libertarian society; instead, it would be more like a minarchist society that would eventually grow back into a large state. If we believe that the state is illegitimate, we should not grant it any power, at least not voluntarily, and that includes the monopoly of violence (weapons).
Once again, this is just my perspective, and I may be mistaken.
