At least two American lawmakers have stated on the record that, in their opinion, Section 1031 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 legalizes or authorizes martial law in the United States. Senator Mark Udall stated “These provisions raise serious questions as to who we are as a society and what our Constitution seeks to protect...Section 1031 essentially repeals the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 by authorizing the U.S. military to perform law enforcement functions on American soil.”[18]

Supposedly FBI agents were manning tanks at Waco. Tanks are military equipment and, therefore, “part” of the Army.

So... send in the Marines, the USN, and the US Coast Guard.
