The problem with your plan is that the people who would volunteer would be trigger happy cowboys just itching for a chance to use their firearm.
The country is having problems with career police officers gunning down people on the streets, and you think it would be a good idea to add 20 million more armed enforcers who are less qualified and trained than police officers?
Then I apologize for being mistaken.
If this plan were to take place, I would hold the volunteer marshals to a much higher standard than the normal ccw citizens.
The penalties should be stiffer for them and law enforcement.
I also think the marshals should be extensively trained in crisis management, to attempt to de-escalate a situation before a firearm is even necessary.
