Two Beatles, two attempted Murders, one gun, one knife, one [View all]


lived, one didn't.

One lived in a a country that banned guns and the perpetrator used a knife with the intent to murder George Harrison. George was not killed and lived for many years after the attack.

The other Beatle lived in a country that allowed guns, in fact worshipped them, but lived in NYC, a city that did not allow guns. His state had strict gun control as well. His murderer, after finding that he could not acquire a gun in New York, went to a state that allowed them. (Georgia) and purchased a handgun. Legally. He then transported that gun to New York and killed John Lennon on the front steps of the Dakota. Yoko could only stand by and watch, it happened that fast.
