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.

Does he know what it shall not be infringed upon Means
What a fricken Idiot.
YES POLITICIANS COMMITT MORE HEIDIOUS CRIMES CRIME THAN REGULAR PEOPLE HENCE THE NEEDED ARMAMENT.
we are different and you don’t protect us so we need guns to protect ourself
yeal we are not vile pigs
Yeah. You better get those shadows off of your lying eyes
This is what happens when a criminal is in office for 40 years.
Politicans only need guns because they are corrupt. We need to be protected from them, that is a bummer because the pass laws to benefit themselves.
Sorry charlie, different from politicians indeed, we the people are patriotic and for the country, not out to destroy it like you and your cohorts in congress.
Stupid
