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.

This is exactly why we need guns. In serious folks, we better rid our govt. of career politicians before they enslave us.
Self adoring and self entitled bigot!
Elitist idiot
Yeah Charlie we are honest. You. Not much. I’ll keep my guns and if you are lucky someone with a gun will protect you Unfortunately
Cva????
Stupidity at its best!
up yours
Speak 4 yourself. Our forefathers knew we had to protrct ourselves and our families. Therr is nothing new under the sun. They had crimminals and out of control government back then too.
Ill just keep my guns and bullets too. I know i cant count on government protection. Police cant be here all of the time. We the ppl deserve the right to protect our selves. We have since before 1776.
No, we don’t need Charlie Rangel.
outright charlatan
