- The N.R.A. moves to exploit the L.A. riots for its own agenda
-
-
- In even the worst of disasters there are bound to be some
- opportunities. One group that sees itself as a potential
- benefactor from the Los Angeles riots is the National Rifle
- Association. Already, articles pointing out the benefits of
- keeping a home arsenal as a defense against armed looters are
- slated for the June issues of the N.R.A.'S American Rifleman and
- American Hunter magazines as well as for the upcoming edition
- of its political action newsletter, NRAction. Although there are
- no television ads in the works yet, the progun organization is
- reviewing videotapes of the riots with an eye to see how they
- might best be used. Says an N.R.A. spokesman in Washington:
- "There is no better example of why we need the Second Amendment
- than a Korean shop owner protecting himself and his store with
- his gun."
