Our guest today is Tony Simon. Tony is the owner of Simon Says Train and The 2nd is For Everyone: Diversity Shoot (2A4E).
After the Sandy Hook tragedy the extreme anti-gun legislation in New Jersey motivated Tony to get involved in the 2A movement. In 2015 he started “The 2nd is For Everyone: Diversity Shoot. This program has grown since the first event from 6 attendees to having trained HUNDREDS of people from every possible demographic.
1) We are excited to have YOU as our guest as we celebrate our 400th Episode! 
Your Social Media posts are some of the most educational and thought-provoking of the hundreds of 2A Advocates I follow. Have you always had that “voice” or did it develop over time?
2) 2015 is when you started 2A4E...we are now in 2023...how is it going?
3) Over these years, what has been your biggest hurtle or frustration with 2A4E and your 2A Advocacy in general? And what has been your most encouraging moment?

4) You will be traveling all the way across the US to be one of the speakers at the 10th Annual Celebrate & Protect the 2A Rally Event on Saturday, February 18, 2023 at the AZ State Capitol. Tell us why that is such an important event to lend your voice to.

GunFreedomRadio EP400 Simon Says Speak Up with Tony Simon

Nat wrote this beautiful song about the complexities of marriage that can lead to unfair assumptions, where one spouse takes advantage of another based on the “wedding ring”. The words attempt to get through to the guilty party in hopes of easing the burden on her friend and revitalizing the marriage.

Lyrics:
Gun For Hire by Daniels & Durgy

It’s time to set aside 
All the shouting and the drama
To look inside yourself 
And release a little karma
‘Cause I heard the way you talked 
About a man I call my friend
And just because you’re married 
Don’t mean you own him ‘till the end

No, a ring and a contract 
Won’t keep a good man faithful
It‘s in the way you choose to treat him 
When you’re being mean and hateful
When you break down all his friends
And his ideas just cause you can 
Then expect him to love you with a fire, 
On command like he’s a gun... for hire

No a man needs some comfort 
And some words that understands him 
The hardships that he faces 
‘Cause he's the man to whom you're turning
He carries that with gladness 
For his woman and his kids
And he’ll treat you like an equal
If you do the same to him

So try to show some kindness
Without a reason or a motive
Allow him to have his dreams 
So he can come to you for purpose
And listen without judgement
Before sarcasm leaves your mind
As he is, don't change a single thing 
And he’ll be faithful without a wedding ring 

Oh love him with passionate fire
Not just.. like he’s a gun.. for hire
