What exactly were her thoughts? I'd assume she supported gun control.

She'd probably state the obvious - that he USA needs more guns so that
everybody can be armed at all times.

And that it should be mandatory for schoolteachers to carry guns !

I can imagine the Trump/Alt-Right/Q-Anon nuts taking such a stance.

A journalist visited the Dakota in 1981, to have little Sean jump out, aim a toy gun at her, and say something like "Bang-bang! You're dead." The writer asked Yoko what her stance on guns was, and, as I recall, Yoko didn't have a clear answer.

I think I might have heard that same interview, perhaps another one when
she definitely didn't come off as a "gun grabber."

She apparently preferred to take more of a defensive approach with her
contributions to bullet-proof vests for NYPD officers.
