Let's arm and load power onto every 18-21 year old in the country! Genius idea!!

You wouldn't arm them necessarily.
They might serve unarmed to enforce traffic laws, write tickets, deal with non violent offenders, operate 911 call centers, etc.

We already "arm and load power" onto 18-21 year old kids by signing them up for the military and sending them overseas.

Do you not trust those same kids in your own neighborhood?

I do not. I don't trust those same kids when they are deployed in other countries, either.

Ok fair enough. Then I think I made some bad assumptions about where you were coming from. Sorry about that.
