It's very important that the government have no say about the supply or value of the currency to begin with, so as not to distort the functionality of the real economy, whereby all value is produced.
The best defense against excess wealth being extracted from the working class by the capitalist class is pitchforks and torches (and a metric fuckton of AR-15's doesn't hurt too), and the lack of a state subsidized by taxes to stand in defense of said capitalists.
When you have to actually pay to defend against an angry mob, you have motivation to keep them from getting too angry in the first place.
Meanwhile, when the wealthy are looking after the interests of the working class and providing real value to the economy through entrepreneurship and capital, the working classes have motivation not to rise against them.
The state is a cancer.

You have a point about supply of the currency. But then you lost me. AR-15 has done more harm than good. I'm curious, how are you going to govern this anarchist society? No matter what direction you turn you still have the ass in the back, and communities of people need some sort of governing organ.
The same way I govern my family. By talking to people, finding out what actions we can all not worry about, and what actions may put someone else in a bad position, and work with them to find wyas of alleviating friction.
'Some ass in the back' sounds like you're referring to someone being aggressive. First, you ask what has spurred the action, and see if it's something that can be addressed diplomatically.
If not, actions can be taken to either defend, or extract justice. How communities decide to hold court is for them to decide. As for punishments, I'm not a hig fan of prison. Service to repay debts can work, and outlawry when it can't. Iceland held court for centuries without any executive body; there's plenty to be learned from there.
Last point on this original post: while mass shootings are a problem, it's worth noting that police kill more people every year than mass shootings in America. To say nothing of those killed by armed members of the military.
Then there are the myriad causes that drive someone to carry out mass shootings in the first place, but that conversation could fill libraries.
At the end of the day allowing law abiding civilians to have their rights infringed upon because of the actions of criminals is unjust. And the right to bear arms is what separates a citizen from a subject.
