Yoko Ono’s Bloody Gun Control Campaign

The Bloody Glasses Of Her Murdered Husband
John Lennon

Yoko Ono, now 80 years old, is still a political activist. However, her latest campaign using a picture of the bloody glasses of her murdered husband who was brutally killed in 1980 at close range in the presence of Ms. Ono near Central Park (NYC) by a deranged man with a gun is a tasteless appeal to emotions or is it just a desperate publicity stunt.

I was not aware that Ms. Ono used this photo before: “Ono turned her attention to gun violence with a series of tweets that all included the image, which she also used on the cover of her 1981 album Season of Glass.” (Rolling Stone).

Didn’t they say for a long time one of the reasons why the Beatles broke up was Yoko Ono. Perhaps, there is more truth to that than I as a Beatles fan previously thought.

The Deranged Murder Of John Lennon

Yoko Ono to blame guns for the murder of her husband is more than frivolous. If only half is true what you can read about the murderer, i.e. Mark David Chapman, on Wikipedia, then this man was deeply troubled for years. He could as well have stabbed John Lennon from whom he personally received an autograph at the scene of the murder just hours before he killed him. There was even a photograph taken of this scene of the book signing by John Lennon.

The murder even told his wife about his intention to kill John Lennon, but his wife failed to report her husband (see Wikipedia article about the murderer). So much for individual responsibility!

Yoko Ono’s Statistics Are Damned Lies

Manipulating statistics for political purposes is a widespread plague. At age 80, I expect someone to be wiser and smarter.

When Ms. Ono tweets "Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980." then this is highly disingenuous, because this number apparently includes suicides committed with a firearm (CDC suicides & homicides). You do the math.
