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.

Charlie you are a box of rocks
Stupid
Read the Constitution!
Why is he not in jail for tax evasion? Why are they not held to the same laws of the American citizen taxpayer?
complete moron
With comments like this and politicians wonder why our opinion of them is lower than whale$#%&!@* A pox on all of them.
Oh Charlie, you are so special you must announce it to make sure
Ya we aren’t as crooked as politicians.
Yeah, right. We dont need guns. Ppl breaking i to our homes wont hurt us. We wo t be at tbeir mercy whether we live or die. They usually have guns.
Yeah, right. We won’t need to protect ourselves fro. The hoards of black ppl beating and stealing from white ppl at random for being white.
Yeah, right. We won’t need to protect ourselves from rapist that like to gang up and post the rape on YouTube.
Yeah right. We don’t need protection when ppl block the highway start surrounding your car, breaking the glass and try to drag you out of it.
Yeah, right. We won’t need a gun when the antifa group blitz attack comes out of no where and attacks while we are peacefully walking on campus.
Thanks to Obama and the left and dems, we are moving closer and closer to living in a third world country where our safety is in jeopardy. We must be able to defend ourselves. Our constitution gives us that right. I will go farther to say God has given us that right. Peaceful ppl should never have to fight for their lives or safety, but when they do, they are not the criminal. The crimminals is the attacker and needs to be stopped.
Lying, racist, tax evader needs to be in PRISON!
