Your theory is based on your faith that the public with all rally together to form a militia and kill criminals.
Reiterating, there is no such thing as a criminal. Only hostiles and non-hostiles.
The militia consists of the collectively armed citizenry. I have full confidence that community members will rally to fight thugs and marauders rampaging through the streets, if not because of moral duty, then because of purely practical self-defense.
Well as soon as one milita member kills a teenager for stealing something and the boy's family retaliates with claims that the killer is lying and the militia breaks up and into war with each other, you might see where this thing will go.
When organized militias descend into street gangs, then the reaction destroys them.
That shouldn't happen though, since the militia is not a uniform organization.
I'll state again... Your theory is fine for 3rd world tribal communities or taking it to burning man... But in the US in today's world there is absolutely no way it will work.
Again, it has worked in modern societies, and it is continuing to work in modern societies today.
This is not rocket science. Kill thugs. Allow people to self govern. Make your fellow man accountable.
Do you believe in the role of the military? Same role here, except the military is governed by the good guys, and not a falsely legitimatized group of thugs.
