Also, I have a strong feeling that if the US Government tried such an unconstitutional “martial law” takeover of the citizenry I believe that they would also disarm and disband most local law enforcement agencies. I really don’t think they would even attempt to make then “gestapo-drones”.
Federal policy ends up being enforced by locals, whether absurd speed limits, gun confiscation, no-knock drug raids, gold confiscation, or whatever.
The real question is how far would the typical cop go to keep his paycheck and pension.
