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.

Shut your dumbass up
What a hypocrite
You are even stupider than I and most thought! You are really “promoting” you race!!
You wrong
What a fool! Never has been really smart.
The second amendment was created so that we can protect ourselves from politicians and corruption in government in fact that’s how America was born….
Dumbass,to protect ourselves from people you’ll let into our country
Nucklehead
We need protection form the Rangels of the world
What a piece of c**p. Yes, politicians are different from citizens…Citizens are the ones stealing hard earned money from tax payers. Politicians need to be reminded THEY ARE NOT SPECIAL and don’t need to have protection…we need protection from the POLITICIANS.
