It’s hard to get an accurate count how many times Martial Law has been declared/used, but if you look at even lefty Wikipedia you’ll soon discover that it has been declared in the US or its territories at least a dozen or so times in various states of emergency or perceived emergency over the years. Not rare or unheard of at all as some would suggest, just a tool in the toolbox.

Martial law has been declared 42 times. It’s not the holy grail.
