Happiness Is A Warm Gun [View all]
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by krispos42 (a host of the Gun Control & RKBA group).
One of the many stories John Lennon told about the song:
The title came from an article in The American Rifleman, a magazine published by the National Rifle Association. The story was titled "Happiness Is A Warm Gun." In it, the author recalls the special time when he took his 7-year-old son shooting for the first time. It struck John Lennon as "fantastic, insane… a warm gun means you've just shot something." Said Lennon, "I thought it was so crazy that I made a song out of it."
