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.

Run this crook out of politics
This makes me want to buy even more.
All the more reason I’m keeping mine.
Politicians should follow all laws like citizens have to!!!
Well they don’t sell a license for Lib protection
He’s an idiot, the 2A is just about the citizen.
How do these politicians become so privileged and feel so important that they think they are better than those who pay salaries throw them out of office.
We are no different from you politicians, except in the area of honesty and integrity. We need guns to protect us from government officials like you!
Up Yours asshole
chaie is a criminal he should not have a gun
