What a coincidence it is a classic style American revolver!
If they were interested in stopping war or terrorism that would be an AK47.
"Non-Violence" (a.k.a. "The Knotted Gun")
When the artist learned that his friend, John Lennon, had been murdered, he became so upset and angry over this senseless death and the many other outbursts of unnecessary violence that he went to his studio and started working on the non-violence project.
Lennon, however, was shot with a
.38-caliber pistol.
You can't "knot" a snub nose.
