Apparently because businesses do not use guns.
They are missing the fact that majority of people never encounter/use guns in their life, and that the principal way of behavioural control is propaganda/ideology. Most of the people in the industrial world are directly and tightly controlled by corporations, not governments.
But the threat of coercion is not so abstract: you *do* see guns on the hip of every cop or park ranger you run into. And 'cop shows' detail the paramilitary forces ready to knock down your doors. I have yet to see free-ranging IKEA police threatening the citizens or constitution recently.
