Bullet from John Lennon killer’s gun up for auction

A bullet from the gun used to kill music legend John Lennon is up for auction.

The .38-caliber revolver, used by Mark David Chapman to fatally shoot Lennon outside his New York City apartment building in December 1980, is being put up for sale by the auction house Moments in Time.

The bullet, which is preserved in a display case along with a letter of provenance from a police officer who confiscated it, is expected to fetch upwards of $100,000.

The sale of such a morbid item has sparked controversy among fans and collectors, with some arguing that it is disrespectful to profit from the tragic death of a beloved musician.

Despite the controversy, Moments in Time is moving forward with the auction, citing the historical significance of the item as a reason for its sale.

Whether the bullet will end up in the hands of a private collector or a museum remains to be seen, but one thing is for sure – this piece of history will continue to spark debate and fascination for years to come.
