Williams had already started the Black Armed Guard with the National Rifle Association's blessings, to defend the local black community from Klu Klux Klan activity. Black residents fortified their homes with sandbags and resorted to being trained with rifles on hand in the event of night raids by the clan. Followers attested to Williams' advocacy of the use of advanced powerful weaponry instead of more traditional firearms. KKK membership numbered some 15,000 locally at a time when gun ownership was fairly common in the South. Williams insisted his position was defensive in the face of provocation as opposed to a declaration of war: "armed self-reliance" in the face of white terrorism. Threats against Williams' life and on his family would become more frequent.
