Where will they get the money to use the military in this fashion? Troops on every street corner is expensive. How much of the military would really go along with this? I don't just mean them reacting to new orders under the auspices of emergency, but day in day out 'occupying the streets.' How long would it take before they would become targets?
You can't occupy America in this fashion. Too many guns. I say again, too many guns. A breakdown of law and order is more likely than an explosion of enforcement 'police state' like things. I have more guns in my house than people, and plenty of ammo. I think this is true of many, if not most american homes. And even in places like NYC where they require permits for even an air rifle and issue them to practically no one. There are still many many guns, all readily available.
America is too well armed to turn into what you think.

Guns and ammo.
