Not presently. We do not have a container for plasma. If we did, we would also have fusion reactors, which we do not.

Would it be possible to use plasma as a weapon?

By itself, no. But if it was in a gun, it would have to be a metal/alloy that could withstand it, as plasma can only be used as a weapon when superheated. Plasma can be over 9000 degrees, so at this point, no element that humanity knows of can withstand this.

Is plasma used in plasma TVs?

Yes. The cells in a plasma TV contain a mixture of gases that are typically found in neon lights. When a current is passed through the cell, it ionizes the gas, turning it into a partially ionized plasma. This plasma differs from the plasma found in the Sun, stars, and interplanetary, which is typically fully ionized, and hotter.
