So, what was the emergency?

I am writing this to pose a question.  Perhaps one of my more learned friends can answer the question.   Please feel free to post an answer, either here or on Facebook, because I’m going to link this on my Facebook page. I know and understand that the National Guard can be mobilized to assist state and local governments in emergencies, such as natural and / or "man created" (formerly known as acts of terrorism) disasters and civil disturbances.  What I did not realize is that they can also be mobilized for non-emergency civilian law enforcement duties.  Maybe I wasn't paying attention somewhere along the line.  Seems I should know these things.   Maybe I didn’t know because the National Guard was never mobilized when I was a cop and a Mayor was inaugurated in York, PA.    When I read last week that in excess of 6,000 National Guard 1 troops were "sworn in" as civilian law enforcement personnel, or to supplement civilian law enforcement for the

His Majesty's Gun Control Plan

The Great Gun Control Debate of 2013

As of this date, 09 January 2013, the leftist administration with the backing of the boot licking mainstream media, Hollywood hypocrites and liberal elitists are clamoring to take away the guns of Americans. Before I go any further, let me say that the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School was a tragic act and a heinous crime committed by an individual with mental health issues, who murdered the legal owner of the guns used, his own mother, and then stole the firearms.  Nobody, but nobody should ever harm little kids.  However, evil and mentally unbalanced people have no qualms about who they hurt.  The only good thing this shooter did was blowing his own brains out.
