The image was an old photo of the glasses her husband John Lennon wore the night he was killed. The left side of the glasses is covered in John's blood, and the right side had some splattering on it:

Sad statistic

Bang bang, shoot shoot.

Woa... one million. That's crazy!

More that that killed in Mexico in the same time and guns are totally illegal.

go figure.

But but but.....more than that have died of old age.

I wonder how much those glasses are worth.

indeed:disgust

I thought it was 1 million Mexicans killed by guns yearly?

how many killed by us guns.. everywhere?

Mexico is a third world country. Anyhow I'm pretty sure the point she was making is its disgusting the amount of lives guns have taken.

and more dinosaurs killed by a giant meteorite in 1 year and earth clashing meteorites weren't legal nor cool.

Really... :Oh crap

thats one powerful picture

Correction , people using guns have killed that many, not nearly as many as have died driving in the same time

:disgust:disgust:disgust:disgust

so you're comparing accidents to homicides? wow :helpme

Killed by guns. So, the guns themselves did the killing? No people using them, just the guns?

Now THAT is truely insane.

That includes suicides, right? Love that little trick.

interesting

Makes for better numbers.

You cannot compare firearms to automobiles. Automobiles are created and used for transportation, while firearms are used to kill people.

You can live without firearms. You cannot live without automobiles. You do not need a rifle to hunt; You can hunt using a bow and arrow. But without automobiles food would not be available at your local grocery story.

Every day every American uses or eats something transported on a car or truck, while some Americans will go their entire lives without ever having to touch a firearm. My wife drives every day of her life, but has never touched a firearm.

You can't compare firearm deaths to automobile deaths. Firearm deaths are usually intentional, while automobile deaths are always accidents.

Fuck you, Wayne Lapierre, you fucking irresponsible shill for gun makers.

Hate to be that guy but....

Governments killed over 250 million people last century

its mob rule in mexico though.

Over 15,505,000 people have been killed by tobacco in
the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed
on December 8th, 1980

Since you don't live here your opinion means squat. You know that, right?

Who died and made you king faggot?

According to Gallup polls 1 in 12 americans is unaware that the bird is the word, i for one dream of an america where everbody knows that the bird is the word.

yall still arguing about guns on here? lmao

they ain't going anywhere so fucking get over it already...

multiply that by the number of people killed by drunk drivers :2 cents: over the past decade, approximately 250,000 people were killed in alcohol-related fatal crashes.

shitty deal

And most of them come from the U.S. You know that right? :thumbsup

So should we double+ that stat with and *?

1.2 million committed suicide, how many used a gun?

according to the CDC, in 2010 19,392 Suicides by firearm
Now do a little math
19,000 x 32 years = 608,000

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/suicide.htm

CDC says in 2010 11,078 homicide by firearm, 16,259 total homicides
do a little math
11,000 x 32 years = 352,000

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/homicide.htm

So about 2/3's of the firearm killings is self inflicted

imagine all that people

:stoned

ADG

Ak 47 fireworks :ak47:

genuinely brings tears to my eyes... why?

At first glance, I thought the photo was tasteless and ghoulish.

But although I can't stand Yoko Ono - the more I thought about the image...the more poignant it becomes.

It's a beautiful song, however:

It sounds like he is advocating for a global socialist government.

+1 :( :( :( :helpme

What an incredibly naive, isolationist statement to make. :disgust

As a Canadian with friends, relatives and associates living and working in the U.S. - YOUR opinion above means less than squat.

People comparing guns to cars...
How do you live your life? Seriously, you must be so fucking goddamn dumb that life itself must be a real challenge every single day.

Instead of blaming the gun, while cars kill way more, why not look at why someone is so violent?

It's a well know fact that guns kill people ... then, what do you know, Norway and Switzerland, which are the most heavily armed countries in Europe also have the lowest murder rate, go figure

Hey Idiot

Since the majority of guns that flood into Canada come from the US it gives us every right to have an opinion.
