But instead of 'organization', I would substitute 'co-ordinated'. Organization implies a central locus. Organized operates more like the Internet.

Fully concur.

A thousand Bravehearts are better than one.

Confiscating guns is unconstitutional/illegal.

-- at least in St. Bernard Parish, police are now shooting people's animals right in front of them, if the people will not evacuate.

Did they declare martial law? If not, they have no authority to do so.

Declaring Martial Law, or a state of emergency, does not negate the State or United States Constitution. Both protect the right of people (or citizens) to keep and bear arms. The latter declares it shall not be infringed, the former that it shall not be abridged.
