BTW... you are right about black markets. That will happen. You won't have a choice because there won't be banking or a flow of goods at your local store. In the case of the USA, almost everything is imported, so most everything you buy on a day to day basis, even your bananas, are gone immediately.
The US National Guard will step in eventually, but like I said before, when you're out of fuel and have little to no communication, you're not going to be very effective long term. The EMP is going to knock out most communications upon detonation, so it's not like they are going to have the superior upper hand like they do currently. And lets be honest here, how many of them are going to go home to check on their families during such times? Probably a lot of them are going to go AWOL, and I don't blame them.
