Ring Starr on Gun Violence for the Anniversary of John Lennon's Death
Dan Zimmerman on TTAG
Ringo Starr, arguing for stiffer gun laws yesterday on the anniversary of John Lennon’s murder. He was speaking at a Non Violence Foundation soiree, where he unveiled his psychedelic take on the “knotted gun” statue, which he designed on his iPad. Because if there’s one lesson we can draw from the UK, it’s that more gun control laws work.
What's your opinion? Why do you think the Armed Intelligentsia love to mock people who decry gun violence? Isn't that another way of aligning themselves with the criminal gun owners? When celebrities like Ringo Starr talk about the need for stricter gun laws, they're referring to criminals, they're talking about ways to keep guns away from criminals. Why then do the so-called law-abiding gun owners take such offense?
