This event scores low on constitutional damage (A=1.31) because the offer was rejected - no actual federal military intervention occurred. The mechanism is norm_erosion_only with no concrete action, affecting only single_state scope. Rule_of_law (1) and separation (2) receive minimal scores for the inappropriate offer itself, civil_rights (1) for potential militarization concerns. Severity multipliers are low (0.8-0.9) as this was a declined offer with no implementation. Mechanism modifier of 0.4 reflects that norms were tested but not actually eroded since Maryland refused. However, B-score is high (25.43) due to strong Layer 1 hype: outrage_bait (6) from federal military intervention narrative, media_friendliness (7) for state-vs-federal drama, novelty (5) for unusual National Guard gun violence proposal. Layer 2 shows strategic distraction: mismatch (7) between offer and actual need, pattern_match (7) with federal overreach themes. Intentionality (8) evident in creating state-rights confrontation optics. D-score of -24.12 clearly indicates List B classification.
