Yes, and along with the militia, let us place movable barricades [[aka checkpoints) on every block, and designate block captain to check the comings and goings of every car and pedestrian. We will then have neighborhood children act as spies. Each block's long guns shall be kept in designated garages, and every person 12 and older will be required to carry a pistol.
This has been the solution in half-way functioning New Orleans, which had an identical murder rate, last year, and usually a higher one.
