Enact violence on whom? The full quote is that they're enacting this violence "in pursuit of good aims". But often, the ones you're enacting the violence against also see themselves as having good aims. Does his company spare a moment's thought into whether it's selling its weapons just to the "good" side? I haven't yet heard a better solution than the idea that the government has a monopoly on the legitimate use of force. That implies the existence of "warriors" who are willing (if not "excited") to use force. That moves the decision of what's "good" to the supervision of the government, and (presumably) their constituents. But that's often fractious, and I feel like it's made worse if the "excited" "warrior class" is nudging in favor of violence.
