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.

Time for this old Cooter to be put out to pasture
BS.
Yea he is right we have a lot more common sense!
Just another good reason for term limits
I’m sure he puts his pants on like everyone else.
Right and when an appeals court gave illegals the right to have guns recently, but U.S. Citizens don’t have the right. Evil. We NEED to protect ourselves from the criminal elements and others, who would do U.S. harm.
Fck off$#%&!@*you should be scared$#%&!@*come get some.
He is delusional with his superiority complex.
Should have read “honest citizens are different from politicians “.
I think that I will fire all of you morons in office. You have totally forgotten who you work for
