"Musician John Lennon's bloodstained glasses \u2014 the ones the 40-year-old was wearing when he was fatally shot in the back four times in New York City in 1980 \u2014 reemerged this week in four anti-gun messages on Twitter from widow Yoko Ono's account. \nOno shared the tweets Wednesday with her nearly 3.7 million followers, marking the 44th anniversary since she and Lennon wed on March 20, 1969. In the background, the glasses image shows a blurry Central Park, where Ono spread Lennon's cremated ashes and where the city built his Strawberry Fields memorial. \nA similar image was used as cover art for Ono's 1981 album Season of Glass, but the image in the tweets included this death toll:\n\nThe four tweets all had a link to the above image but had different text, with the final one resonating most with the Twitter set as they've retweeted it almost 9,000 times:\n\n\"Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980.\"\n\"31,537 people are killed by guns in the USA every year. We are turning this beautiful country into war zone.\"\n\"Together, let's bring back America, the green land of peace.\"\n\"The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience. After 33 years our son Sean and I still miss him. Yoko Ono Lennon\"\n\nEighty-year-old Ono also shared an audio clip in which she and Lennon talk about peace.\n\nWe decided that if we were going to do anything like get married that we would dedicate it to peace. imaginepeace.com/archives/1073 20 March 1969\n\u2014 Yoko Ono (@yokoono) March 20, 2013\n\nImage via Keystone Features/Getty Images\n      window._msla=window.loadScriptAsync||function(src,id){if(document.getElementById(id))return;var js=document.createElement('script');js.id=id;js.src=src;document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0].parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);};\n_msla(\"//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js\",\"twitter_jssdk\");"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
