According to National Journal’s White House correspondent Marc Ambinder the U.S. already has a game plan in place. “If what happened in London ever happened in the US, the military has plans — CONPLAN 3501 and 3502 — to suppress the ‘insurrection,’ he tweeted. The mysterious reference to a numbered military plan generated a flurry of interest on Twitter as NPR host Michele Norris shot back:”I want to know more about the military’s plan to suppress any potential ‘insurrection.’– CONPLAN 3501 and 3502????”

1. We've seen how the US military deals with these things. It 's not subtle or a secret.

2. Apparently some of it IS secret.

Just ask Rep. Jack Brooks.

3. Military response

Nope, it's not a secret and if this country gets to that point it will be deadly and bloody. American's are sooner or later going to rise up and resist this bullshit and when they do they won't take it laying down. Considering this country has more guns per capita than any other nation in the world... that should give everyone an idea of what it would be like. What is going to be the hard part is whose side are you on and how scared are you of the consequences for resisting?

5. Not surprising.

I've always thought the government had these plans on the shelf.
