The Dead Dreamers

They were Abraham, Martin, JFK and too many Johns. Four decades ago on 12/8/80, an assassin’s bullets killed Beatle John Lennon  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usNsCeOV4GM

I remember that fateful night all too well as a young journalist working for NBC News in New York City.  Assassinated: December 8, 1980, The Dakota, New York, NY   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCNkPpq1giU  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfvYM6zWA90

Following Abe, MLK JFK and John Lennon’s murder Congress did nothing to bring about gun control legislation and Americans continue to pay the price.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5hFMy4pTrs

Legislatures have banned books, but not magazines and assault rifles continue to sell faster than ever. Ask your local representatives when will this national nightmare end. https://deargovernment.info/
