In Remembrance

By (LENNON, John)

Washington, D.C.: Handgun Control, Inc.. [1980]. An ephemeral broadside printed the month of Lennon's death (based on the wording of the text), and naming Lennon, D.C. cardiologist Michael Halberstam, and housing activist Yolanda Ward, as three of the approximately 8000 handgun deaths in the U.S. in 1980. The broadside is a call to action against the ready availability of handguns. 8-1/2" x 11". Previously folded; sunned; with foxing in the left margin; about very good. Features a photo of Lennon from his "Walls and Bridges" period. No copies found in OCLC. (N.B. - internet estimates give 15,000 as the approximate number of gun homicides in 1980, with another 15,000 suicides by guns, overwhelmingly handguns; apparently such statistics were not as accessible in 1980.) No Binding. Very Good.
