No, that's too far. Look, I'm all for an armed populace, but I still want a standing peacetime military to mobilize against a fast aggressor. Especially with modern weapons and technology.

Same thing goes for crime. When shit goes well and truly sideways, I want someone with Bearcats, helicopters, and automatic weapons to defeat whatever enemy has appeared. I can't really rely on the militia to have that. Unless, of course, you have some kind of permanently standing militia, which would effect the same idea as police.
