They were authorized to use "excessive force" if necessary. I don't believe any such orders to "shoot people" where given, nor will it ever be, but "excessive force" throws a
very wide net. You can bet your ass if someone told them to "you can pry my guns from my cold dead hands" line, it would have been ugly, and that is what they are trained to do. That is why they were fully armed as they went door to door instead of carrying pepper spray and tazers.
During Martial Law or a State Of Emergency, your civil and Miranda rights no longer exist. Warrants are not needed to search you, your property, or to confiscate your property.
In the case of Katrina, only one incident occurred where they forcefully took a women to the ground for not giving up her handgun. I think she broke her shoulder or something. EVERYONE ELSE handed over their firearms without incident, and they will do it again, and again, and again. Gun owners talk a lot of smack until the US ARMY is knocking on their door and has their house surrounded.
