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.

Old fool
Who opened this idiots’ cage???
No, citizens need to be able to protect themselves.
Yeah… they’re honest and work hard!
Idiot.
Yeh you’re criminals with guns
That means you to$#%&!@*besides the constitution says we have the right to keep and bare arms and those who infringe on it can and will charge with tyranny and treason against America amen
Charlie, did you forget that politicians become private citizens when they don’t get re-elected?
You are a fucking idiot!
Seriously, dude, they put me in timeout all the effing time. That’s how I can tell this is NOT an American organization. No 1st amendment rights, especially if it’s an anti-muslim comment. Oops, there I go again.
