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.

I need a gun to protect me from nut-job politicians
Swamp Creature………Drain the F—ing Swamp……..
He’s a joke. ..
More proof liberalism truly is a psychotic delusional mental disorder!
Your a sick boy and we keep our guns
It’s the politicians like (and I puke at the name) Obama and all his crooked cohorts that force us to have to carry. You politicians are already all protected but you are scared to death for your sorry butts. Well if all this c**p going on is safe like you want us to believe why would you want a gun? As for me, I believe in God and I believe in my gun.Assault me and you’ll meet them both.
you cannot and will not ban weapons here in this free country without civil war.
Criminals
I’ll count on a gun, thank you. Just a small one with 3 numbers in it. 357
Yes! He needs guns to protect all the dirty money he keeps in the freezer!
