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.
Watch a video about Rangel’s hypocrisy on guns on the next page:
Citizens must have a gun to protect them from crooked politicians like yourself.
Then its b time for him to become just a citizen again
Rangel USA crook
What an idiot!
Old CHARLIE has three rent controled apartments while his voters. Or suckers are living in a cardboard box. Oh well give them welfare and food stamps they will vote you in every time. Lmmfao
Why don’t you ask the people in Chicago you moron
We need the guns for protection from the politicians.
The reality of the Constitution is the accepted intent by those it was designed to protect. What is accepted by the majority of Americans, in regards to the 2nd Amendment, is evidenced by the 300 million firearms and trillion rounds of ammunition owned by the best armed and trained Civilian Force in World History.The Second Amendments intent has been decided and will stand. No force on earth will disarm Americans.
… that statement right there .. is EXACTLY what’s wrong with the current batch of “politicians” …
POLITICIANS THINK THEY ARE MUCH BETTER THAN NORMAL PEOPLE BUT THEY SURE KNOW HOW TO KISS$#%&!@*WHEN IT IS ELECTION TIME !
