Problem, reaction, solution in Springfield, Massachusetts. The government creates the problem by allowing drugs and illegal criminal enterprises to occur in a specified urban zone. The zone becomes violent and deadly. As a result, the residents demand results from the lawmakers and the lawmakers react to the violence. The solution is the imposition of total martial law and control contrary to the Constitution.
This is not the first time where martial law and/or military resources are being considered for domestic law enforcement issues:
1. Jefferson County, Alabama is now considering using the National Guard for law enforcement.
2. The town of Schenectady, New York proposed deploying the National Guard.
3. The NAACP calls for martial law and troops on the street in Pennsylvania.
4. California Highway Patrol conducts checkpoints in connection with U.S. Marines.
5. National Guard checkpoints in Tennessee.

[Rep. Benjamin] Swan said more may be needed, and suggested police be allowed to operate under what he called "a short period of martial law." The move, over a period of 30 to 60 days, would give police the power to sweep all the illegal guns in the city.
