<p>The N.R.A. moves to exploit the L.A. riots for its own agenda
</p>
<p> 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."
