Arms race in Newark militants urge gun purchases
In Newark a black and a white militant group urge followers to buy guns for self defense after last summer riots. Willie Wright of Negro United Afro-American Association says armament is needed for protection while Anthony Imperiale of a white neighborhood group claims 1500 supporters and warns that if law enforcement won’t curb rioters citizens must defend themselves. Police note a rise in pistol permits in the area as both sides accuse each other and seek to influence a sizable local bloc in a city of about 400,000.
