twenty seven years ago tomarrow

John Lennon was gunned down and the dream ended .

This is why I am against guns , look at all the great people who were taken down by a madman with a gun and bullet through the years .

5. "the dream ended"

I disagree!!! Johns Dream of peace on earth. IS NOT DEAD!!! I live and work toward it everyday.
Imagine, If everyone worked toward such lofty goals, instead of giving up.

insofar as firearms. NONE of the new and current gun restrictions would have prevented Johns death.

6. The key words "if everyone "

John worded for peace and guns are not peace . we have known for many years guns serve one purpose .

In order for Lennons dream to live on and become a reality it would take everyone and we don't have everyone .

What I refer to stating the dream is over is that we have regressed since that time 27 years ago , from one end to the other we are much further from peace than before . The dream is over because there is no longer anyone like Lennon who had the attention of so many people . He was a culture leader a magnet of like minded .
