Default Coup d' ta prevention. (sorry bout' the spelling)

That's basically what the act is about. Under it's guidence the military is allowed to be involved, but just in running the technical gear. They cannot make arrests. So, basically, the planes they have given could theoretically follow the bastard to his home, and civil authourities could then arrest him. As far as the ACLU is concerned, they would then probably jump in when they take his rifle away and complain that his gun rights are being violated and his actions were only a matter of him expressing his freedom of speech rights. I wouldn't believe the ACLU if they told me that day was light and night was dark.
