A week or two ago I asked whether or not I was too late to invest in the stocks of gun manufacturers, some of which were up 70 or 80% in 2015. I probably am too late to profit from such an investment.

When I think of guns, I think of my own self-defense. However, if I invest in gun manufacturer stock prices going up as a result of the increasing chaos brought on by the looter/moocher cabal, am I violating the Objectivist principle regarding initiation of the use of force? Am I supporting statist thugs? I want to be non-contradictory about this, and yet profit immensely by my support of the 2nd Amendment.
