Martial law doesn't work in America. Too many people. There are not anywhere near enough cops or federal agents to control millions of people. Look at the Boston bullshit. There was an army of cops on the streets with M4s and armored vehicles, in ONE neighborhood, looking for ONE guy (and violating everyone's rights in the process). They were met by friendly people with smiles, coffee and scones. Had the people there not been so friendly, the cops wouldn't have had a chance. Picture a rifle in every window. All this and they still couldn't find the guy. In the end, the suspect was apprehended because a neighbor voluntarily called the police and reported suspicious activity in his back yard. There is simply no way to declare martial law on a major American city and expect success.
