The photograph of the glasses the Beatle was wearing when he was shot dead on 8 Dec 1980 carries a message reminding people that, since then, more than a million people have been killed by guns in the USA. 
  
 She sent the image out four times in quick succession yesterday, on the 44th anniversary of their marriage. The image was retweeted more than 8,000 times. 
  
 The artist and peace activist, 79, claimed that guns were turning the country into a warzone. 
  
 In one of the tweets accompanying the image she wrote: “The death of a loved one is a hollowing experience. After 33 years our son Sean and I still miss him. Yoko Ono Lennon.” 
  
 One of her tweets repeated the message that was superimposed on the moving image, reading: “Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on 8 Dec 1980.” 
  
 While the others said: “31,537 people are killed by guns in the USA every year. We are turning this beautiful country into war zone. 
  
 “Together, let's bring back America, the green land of peace.” 
  
 The image of his glasses with Central Park in the background was also featured on the cover of her 1981 album Season of Glass, her first solo recording after Lennon was killed by Mark Chapman. 
  
 The couple were married in Gibraltar on March 20, 1969, and went on honeymoon to Amsterdam, where they famously campaigned for peace by spending an entire week in bed. 
  
 The gun debate in America was reignited following the Sandy Hook shootings in December last year.

– Yesterday was the 44th anniversary of Yoko Ono's marriage to John Lennon, and she marked the occasion by offering a personal—and graphic—statement on the gun-control debate: She tweeted a photo of Lennon's bloodstained glasses. "Over 1,057,000 people have been killed by guns in the USA since John Lennon was shot and killed on December 8, 1980," reads the text accompanying the image, which she rapidly tweeted a total of four times. "We are turning this beautiful country into a war zone," she wrote. "After 33 years our son Sean and I still miss him." The photo was also used on a 1981 album cover, notes the Telegraph.

OCONTO - With prices closing in on four dollars, we've all felt the pain at the pump. 
  
 Much of the area is sitting around $3.89 a gallon. 
  
 However, some drivers in Oconto County had a break—At least for a little while. 
  
 Prices fell to as low as $3.39 a gallon. 
  
 But much to the dismay of motorists, those prices are now back up. 
  
 Why the rapid change? 
  
 “They’re like a rubber ball up and down up and down,” said Bill Peters. 
  
 Drivers like Peters say they drove to Main Street in Oconto because they heard gas prices were at a bargain--as low as $3.39. 
  
 “I’m going to go wherever the prices are the lowest because if they're trying to get me in they're doing a good job by lowering the price,” said Peters. 
  
 But by the time Peters filled up Friday afternoon, the prices had shot back up. 
  
 "All the other stations were $3.39 and we were $3.44 until we got the call to go back up. We have $3.72 for cash and $3.77 for credit,” said Dawn Gromoske. 
  
 Gromoske manages the Krist Food Mart. 
  
 While some drivers said this station was the first to change its prices, Gromoske says the decision was out of her hands. 
  
 “We get a call from corporate in the morning and we get told what to do and that’s what we do,” said Gromoske. 
  
 FOX 11 called Krist Oil's corporate offices. No one answered. 
  
 On Thursday, the price at this Shell was $3.39. The store manager didn't want to go on camera with us today but says they had to lower the price to stay competitive with stations in town 
  
 Some drivers who didn't want to be identified told FOX 11 they were concerned gas stations were violating Wisconsin's minimum mark-up law. 
  
 That's a mandatory 9 percent mark up over the wholesale cost. 
  
 I contacted the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. 
  
 A spokesperson could only say: 
  
 "Over the last few days, DATCP has received a number of questions and complaints about gas prices in the Oconto area. We are now reviewing the complaints." 
  
 Customers say they'd like the markets to be a bit freer and the prices a whole lot lower. 
  
 “I think if they open that up and let them charge what they want to charge they would lower their prices to get the customers,” said Peters. 
  
 The Department of Agriculture, Trade and consumer protection says it cannot speculate on what sort of penalties gas stations could face, if they violated the state's minimum mark-up law. ||||| The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection says it's looking into a number of complaints of illegally low gas prices in Oconto. 
  
 This, after four gas stations there sold gasoline yesterday nearly 50 cents less than other stations in Northeast Wisconsin -- as low as $3.399 a gallon, according to GasBuddy.com. 
  
 The prices had people driving from all over to fuel up. It attracted state investigators, too. 
  
 Wisconsin has a minimum mark-up law on gasoline, which supporters say helps protect smaller stations from larger companies which may be able to sell gas at or below cost. 
  
 When gas is cheap, word travels fast. 
  
 "My wife called me this morning and said the prices were down to 3.30 something," Randy Boucher of Oconto said. 
  
 "He said, by the way, Thompson's is like 3.39... He says there was a gas war. And I'm like, I don't think they have gas wars any more. I didn't think they had stuff like that," Pete Gabrielson of Oconto said. 
  
 Oconto did. Four gas stations -- Krist, Mobil, Shell, and BP -- have all been at war for a month. Thursday their prices hit their lowest yet since the battle began. 
  
 "We've got six pumps, and they were lined up 12 at least at each pump pretty much all day," BP station owner Mark Thompson said. 
  
  
  
 "I thought, what's going on? How can it drop 50 cents, you know, in a day!" Boucher said. 
  
 "I was driving over thinking I should've gotten the gas cans and put them in back of the truck," Gabrielson said. 
  
 Friday the prices rebounded 40 cents. The lowest is Friday evening was $3.729. 
  
  
  
 One gas station told us they were busy Thursday night, really busy Friday morning, and even after gas prices went back up drivers were still showing up to fill up their tanks. 
  
 State investigators from the DATCP visited each station to assess whether laws were broken. The DATCP gave Action 2 News a brief statement Friday: "Over the last few days, DATCP has received a number of questions and complaints about gas prices in the Oconto area. We are now reviewing the complaints." 
  
 Thompson BP says it never wanted a war, just to keep a 20-year-old promise. 
  
 "We would match the lowest price or be lower," Thompson said. "And all these years, we've tried to keep that, and that's why the gas war today." 
  
 Two other stations say they lost a lot of money and want a truce. |||||



– Is it even possible for gas prices to be too low? Wisconsin says yes, and state authorities have stepped in to investigate after a month-long price war between local gas stations in Oconto County saw four stations offering prices as low as $3.39 a gallon this past week—nearly 50 cents less than other stations in the area, WBAY reports. Wisconsin law says gas must be sold at a minimum 9% mark-up on the wholesale cost, to help protect smaller companies, reports Fox 11. Investigators from the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection are now looking in to whether the prices offered by the Krist, Mobil, Shell, and BP stations were illegally low. Prices are now back up to at least $3.729, WBAY reports.
