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.

Citizen taxpayers don’t need the POS Charlie Rangel. He’s just another crook.
People that look at you as a allay, want you armed for common defense, people that look at you as a enemy wants you DISARMED so you are easy it control.
This idiot is so far behind in paying taxes he should not have the right to say ANYTHING!
A big dumb as take his guards away.
Communist miscreant!
Gotta remember, he is there because a lot of people voted for him. Very scary.
Yes we are different! We are not thieves.
They sure are Chaley, they love America.
Cripes This racist bastard is still kickin’ around. Damn somebody needs to bury him He’s as nutty as his girlfriend pelosi!!!
He didn’t used to think that way. This is what happens when you empower a political party with unlimited money. They can buy anyone’s vote.
