Imagine no guns.

[quote] YOKO Ono tweeted a picture of her late husband John Lennon’s bloodied glasses — as she backed calls to tighten US gun laws. The artist and peace campaigner, 80, posted the photo on Twitter on the 44th wedding anniversary of the famous couple. [/quote] I don't care if you don't like the source, go and find the twitter account if you want to see the picture on a different source but the message is real and since I know a crap ton of Americans like the Beatles's and john lennon surely this must make you think.

  • If you(or yoko Ono for that matter) actually gave a half a shit about the well being of even a single person, you would realize that instead of doing anything gun related, the first step in the US would be reforming mental healthcare. The overwhelming majority of [i]preventable[/i] gun deaths are from people with serious mental health issues, like John Lennon's killer, or the newton shooter. The key to prevention is not removing a method of killing AND defending, but is in fact taking better care of the people who have psychological issues that would drive them to violence. If their issues were recognized, and they were given proper treatment and care, tragic mass shootings and other like incidents would sharply decline. Further, yes, I know this is bait, but I'm really getting tired of your shit lonepaul. You traipse through these forums, blathering your ignorant, anti-American garbage bringing on moronic flaming and arguing. Worse yet is the way you run and cower under the wing of a certain mod, who's the only other person on this forum with as strong of a misguided hate of the entirety of America as you. You bait, flame, and incite argument and well deserved hate directed toward you, and then let good, respectable posters be the receivers of unwarranted bans. Pathetic. I remember back in .old when you use to post worthwhile content, and encouraged worthwhile discussion on relevant world events, but you have since fallen from grace. You are just another black mark on this community no better than the Beatle alts, and john cena's that shitpost here. Good day to you, you egotistical, pedophile dirtbag. -Diver

      >mfw gun crime has been decreasing, rather than increasing If you think all guns should be banned then move to Mexico. I'm sure you'll be safe there. Oh wait, only the drug cartels have guns and no thanks to Obama and the U.S government with operation Fast and Furious. Funny how the people that condemn gun violence the most are the ones who are actually supporting it. Seriously, how am I a bad person for owning 4 rifles and 2 handguns? I'm not. The only bad people here are the criminals who do not care about what the law says. Want to end gun crime? Then start promoting gun education and safety along with identifying the mentally insane and investing in areas that are poor and known for crime rates. Stop going after me and the millions of law-abiding citizens. We are NOT the issue here

          I love John Lennon, and anti-gun nuts are idiots. Get your anti-gun garbage out of here. Also, his wife does not mean it has any tie to John Lennon or The Beatles.

        • Imagine if people would shut the hell up about gun control. I love John Lennon and find him to be an inspiring human being. Gun Control is a ridiculous issue though, there is no problem with people having guns. I love collecting weapons and like to go shooting occasionally with my friends and family, it is a fun sport.

          • Then people would bash each other with swords, arrows, sticks, rocks and fists. The crossbow was once "banned" by a Pope for being a "weapon of mass destruction" but I really doubt highwaymen and bandits cared much about what popes and kings said. Conflict is not new. If law-abiding citizens are prevented from effectively defending themselves and others, they are unnecessarily vulnerable to violence. There are probably areas with high gun crime or large populations where some firearms may not appropriate to possess, but unilaterally banning firearms is unwise. Areas that have issues with gun crime need to address the problem locally, perhaps by changing laws or by increasing law enforcement; that's for them to sort out. Water usage is a serious issue in Arizona; not so in Arkansas. What is a problem in one place may not be in another.

          • No guns wouldn't be too bad. The problem is when only x has guns. Then x has the power. This quote will be a paraphrase because I can't for the life of me find the video it came from. Phillip DeFranco once said: 'If two people are in a room and one has a gun, they can make demands. If both have guns, it becomes a conversation. ' Speak softly and carry a big stick.

              • The gun folks never did realize, that it's not the guns themselves, it's the people behind them. The people that don't care about the consequence of killing another person, and taking a life. The people who became so twisted and warped in their own heads that they now saw this as a good idea. Modern society is sick, with people like I said above. But it's not just these people either. It's the parents and friends who never saw the behavioral changes, the attitude changes, and all that, because they themselves are sick in their own way too. They're distracted and fractured, disconnected if you will, because of all the distractions and various desensitizements that have been brought down on people as a whole because the type of environment and media they've been exposed to over the last few decades. It's not the guns. It's society. You want to make any difference, you have to look at the real issue. And nobody even has yet. They're all so very blind. Wakey wakey eggs n' bakey folks.
