...U.M.W. District 11. Last week any visitor was met by at least three AR-15-armed guards. In his office, which still has holes in the wall from the ax attack of the U.M.W. toughs, B&M Owner Paul Teegarden kept a 9-mm Smith & Wesson automatic pistol on his desk and a 12-gauge shotgun on the wall.

The swarm of prototypes is so thick that when a Los Angeles body artist, a few years ago, created an "event" by shooting a pistol at a jet aircraft passing over Venice Beach, not even that lonely gesture of narcissistic aggression could be called original.
