John Lennon’s bloody glasses want more gun control (Updated)

In a morbid declaration of her opposition to guns, Yoko Ono took to Twitter with warnings about gun violence and photo of the blood-spattered eyeglasses worn by slain musician John Lennon when he was shot & killed by a deranged fan gun in 1980:

 

John Lennons bloody glasses want more gun control (Updated)

According to NPR, the photograph of Lennon’s glasses overlooking New York’s Central Park was the cover photo for Ono’s 1981 album Season of Glass.

Update: President Obama’s Twitter account retweeted Ono’s picture of Lennon’s bloody glasses Thursday night.  A retweet from @BarackObama reaches his more than 28 million followers.

Meanwhile, TheBlaze commenter ERIC-N-OTOWN offers this solid rebuttal:

The Bastiat Institute has already addressed this perfectly on their FB page: “Over 2,519,528 people have been killed by cars in the U.S.A. since James Dean was hit and killed on September 30, 1955.” The former is how you use statistics and emotion to advocate for banning of guns, the latter for banning cars. Both are equally ridiculous.

    AND for all you anti-gun folk………….

    1.35 MILLION people have died in automobile wrecks since 1980.

    what about the ban on cars?

    hint………..the 2nd amendment is for guaranteeing liberty………..NOT for guaranteeing public safety.

    Wow. It only took two years for the Peoples government of Pol Pot to more than double those figures, and his people were unarmed…
    Stalin disarmed his people, and his peaceful government only killed 20 million of them…
    It’s estimated that China only killed about 3,000 of their own in one night in April, 1989, and THEY were unarmed…but countless millions before then and they, too, were unarmed…
    Hitler disarmed his own, disarmed citizens of a bunch of countries, and then managed to kill about 15-20million, including trying to wipe out the Euro-Jew population…no arms…
    But Ono thinks our gobblement can do disarming better than those OTHER governments…

    Imagine that….

    We should ban all cars, alcohol, guns, abortions and bad music. Or take your pick.

    In one year alone, 2007, abortion took the lives of an estimated 1,210,000 (1.21 MILLION) innocent American children–more than the number of people murdered by the Nazis at Auschwitz during all the years of its operation. This is more than the entire population of Dallas, TX–America’s 9th-largest city. In that same year, 12,632 Americans were killed as a result of gun violence–nearly a hundred times less than from abortion.

      great point soquel…………killing babies with a scalpel or suction machine is alright, but people being armed to guarantee liberty is not okay.

      people got their value system all out of whack.

    John Lennon was a lot more conservative (Libertarian leaning) than many people think he was. On the other hand.. Yoko Ono is simply a nut job who could never do anything on her own, and still clings to John Lennon’s legacy as if it were hers.

      YEA SURE AS HELL SOUNDS LIKE A CONSERVATIVE,RIGHT????
      “Imagine there’s no countries
      It isn’t hard to do
      Nothing to kill or die for
      And no religion too
      Imagine all the people
      Living life in peace…

      You may say I’m a dreamer
      But I’m not the only one
      I hope someday you’ll join us
      And the world will be as one

      Imagine no possessions
      I wonder if you can
      No need for greed or hunger
      A brotherhood of man
      Imagine all the people
      Sharing all the world…

      You may say I’m a dreamer
      But I’m not the only one
      I hope someday you’ll join us
      And the world will live as one

      By the way the beatles and him suck

    There have been 2.25 million alcohol related deaths since 1981. Where is the outrage? Just saying…
