Picture a man who believes that he is better than his peers. A man who believes that he is important enough to warrant special protection but that everyone else should be prohibited from taking even basic steps to protect themselves.
Such a man exists, and his name is Charlie Rangel.
A longtime Congressman from New York, Rangel has agitated on behalf of virtually every left-wing hobby horse since the 1970’s. He is pro-abortion, pro-open borders, and vehemently anti-Second Amendment.
Notice how I didn’t say he is anti-gun. That’s because he isn’t, as he made abundantly clear in an interview with The Daily Caller. Questioned by the outlet about the recent scandal involving well-connected individuals bribing NYPD officials in order to obtain the city’s rarely-granted concealed carry permits, Rangel gloated over how hard it was for New Yorkers to carry firearms within the city.
When his interviewer countered that he and his fellow congressmen were protected by armed police officers, however, the congressman offered this reason for the apparent discrepancy between his politics and his personal situation: politicians like him “need to be protected” because their situation is a “little different” from the average citizen.

Rangel needs protections–and should be in a rubber room, where he can’t hurt himself by ricocheting off the walls !
I and my family are every bit as important, maybe more so than this guy.
And millions of other people are
You sir are a traitor , may you rot in hell
Hey King Charlie I, keep talking, revolution is in the air. TERM LIMITS!
You have bodyguards huh.
When that mugger grabbed me and said, “Don’t scream or I’ll blow your brains out! ” IF I would have had a gun, there would have been one less mugger in the world, but all I had to defend myself eas a rock I found on the ground after he knocked me down! What good is a rock against a firearm? Seems if Charlie Rangel had hisxway, he would be protected and I would be victimed! What is wrong with that picture??
IDIOT!
TERM LIMITS!
This guy should still be dressed in stripes for his previous criminal activity.
Citizens are different because they don’t need politicians.
