Music’s A-list delivers..........for gun control....

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3656548/Music-s-list-delivers-lecture-gun-control-surviving-Beatles-Barbra-Streisand-J-Lo-Katy-Perry-Shakira-Britney-joining-forces.html


More than 180 members of the music industry are voicing support for the Democrats' efforts in Congress to pass gun control measures, courtesy of Billboard magazine.

The editors of the publication reached out to the people they covered asking them to sign an open letter to Congress asking for two measures – expanded background checks and banning people on the no fly list from buying guns – to be passed.

Joan Jett was the first to sign the letter, quickly followed by Lady Gaga.

Soon, the remaining members of the Beatles – Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr – had signed on, along with Hillary Clinton supporters Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry and Demi Lovato and pop princesses Shakira and Britney Spears.

John Lennon's widow Yoko Ono signed the letter too. She had personal experience with gun violence as Lennon was murdered by gunfire in 1980

to seeing that John's "peace" legacy is carried forth. She also speaks out every time John's killer (I know the name but I refuse to say it) is up for parole. I still remember that awful day too.
