I don’t think subjecting a large portion of the population which has reached the age of majority and committed no crime to an oligarchical rule is the solution to the problem.

It would hardly be oligarchical rule, anymore than it is now. Anyone can be a property owner, and most can be veterans. An actual oligarchy would be rule by a few, which is then usually passed down through heredity. How many property owners do we have now? How many veterans? How many people can become either?
