There are many sorts of armed malcontents, and they aren't all inner city gang members. What did Pogo say, so infamously?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the area under martial law? That would mean that the Constitution is suspended and therefore they no longer have the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment. As are all their other rights under said Constitution (unreasonable search and seizure, speedy trial, etc). Is that correct? It's been a while since I was in a poly sci class......
I'm not saying what they are doing is right (far from it), but if they ARE under martial law their "rights" are extremely limited. It doesn't matter if you are a gang banger or a little old lady who goes to church every Sunday.
