From the Land of "Passive Bystanders"

The police-military assault on the Peninsula became an exclusively all-military conflict. In swiftly crushing the power grab attempt, troops loyal to the government made mass arrests not only of noncombatants from civil society but also journalists covering the event. Authorities imposed a curfew without a proclamation of national emergency by the President of the Republic. Shortcuts on civil liberties were decided and made solely by security authorities, reducing the civilian government to a passive bystander.

Hmmm...I think there's something someone once set up in our Constitution just in case something similar happened here. Good thing for us those experienced and mature voices at The Harvard Crimson (aka The Rich Reds) assure us the Second Amendment is obsolete in these modern times.
