How will marginally trained army reservists combat gun violence?

No disrespect to reservists, but they exist in case the United States is invaded, they have zero law enforcement training. Are they going to call in mortar support any time there's a shooting? Because that's what they're trained for.

You're talking about trained police, not army reservists. The only similarity is that they both wear uniforms and carry guns. If that's all you think it takes to deter crimes, why not just hand out M4s and Flyers jerseys on the corner and deputize randos?
