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.

Drain the Swamp
So when this idiot is voted out of office, he will then lose his armed security and NOT able to buy a pistol or rifle!!!
This guy knows he is a crook and afraid somebody might shot him!
This guy doesn’t think “all men are created equal.”
Hipocrite
Well… same to you!
YOU MAY NOT NEED A GUN BUT SOME OF US WANT ONE.
Idiocy in action
You’re right on one thing Rangel citizens are different from the likes like you. Corruption is your game and nothing else. Tell me why you need protection by guns and a citizen doesn’t need protection by a gun. You are a racist hyocrite
Oh yeah we do. As stated many times, to protect us from tyrannical assholes like you.
