    And yet, it has been used a number of times, and the National Guard units have not been involved. Reality doesn’t match your claim.

    The trick is that the protestors need to be both peaceful and armed. Once violence starts, yes, the National Guard would likely get called. But cops confronted by a crowd of demonstrators that are all as well armed as they are don’t tend to indiscriminately use force.
