Pointer from [livejournal.com profile] ysabel, Clergy Response Teams to calm populations during declarations of martial law. "For the clergy team, one of the biggest tools that they will have in helping calm the public down or to obey the law is the bible itself, specifically Romans 13. Dr. Tuberville elaborated, 'because the government's established by the Lord, you know. And, that's what we believe in the Christian faith. That's what's stated in the scripture.'" (Story dated 15 August 2007.)

Pointer from [livejournal.com profile] ginmar, an old story that got lost in the flood, as it were; Army confiscates leaglly-owned firearms at gunpoint in New Orleans. "'No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons.' What else can we expect when our government declares martial law? They're going to let people keep their weapons?! Of course they aren't." (Story from 2005, during the Katrina aftermath.)

Both previously found by Melissa McEwan on Shakespeare's Sister, and both links go there.
