Oh, good, hip-hop mogul and yogi Russell Simmons is tweeting about rights today. Fans of the Constitution might not recognize this most recent condition placed on our rights: they’re valid only if you fight to give them to others. You might think, then, that Simmons might be a fan of Colion Noir, that “black guy with a Yankees hat” who has been picked up by NRA News to defend the Second Amendment for all Americans.
Hey Russell Simmons …who has a better chance at surviving a shooting..peeps who listen to you or Colion Noir ..?? #TGDN #tcot #NRA #CTOT

Even after Simmons accused him of “promoting more violence” in his fight for gun rights, Noir went right on fighting to preserve those rights for others. Maybe someone can recruit Simmons to join the fight for the right to a Big Gulp.

We wonder if Simmons tossed his copy of the Constitution into the trash with some other books that have served their purpose.
Once we arrive at enlightenment, we can throw out our bibles or w/e books helped us achieve that state, as they've served their purpose.

However dear Second Amendment rights are (or are not) to Simmons’ followers, suggesting the Bible has served its purpose didn’t sit well.

@UncleRUSH FALSE! You never stop growing in Christ and so there will NEVER be cause to throw out your Bible! <3

@UncleRUSH Uh, no I'm sorry we don't ever throw out the information that feeds us not more than we throw away food that is edible. #Bible

@UncleRUSH so even after enlightenment you can't move forward and keep learning? One verse can have 1000 different meanings to one person.

@UncleRUSH The Bible is not a self-help book bc following Christ is not about US. Jesus paid too high a price to believe that!

@UncleRUSH Not the Bible. It's not possible for it to conclude. It is the "Living" Word in which scripture can impact you in many ways/days.

If Simmons’ followers are going to cling so bitterly to their Bibles, what’s the chance of grabbing their guns?
