Appearing on MSNBC Thursday, Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY) claimed that “millions of kids” are killed by so-called "assault weapons," citing numbers that fall far short of the numbers reported by the FBI, The Blaze reported,

“We’re talking about millions of kids dying — being shot down by assault weapons, we're talking about handguns easier in the inner cities, to get these guns in the inner cities, than to get computers. This is not just a political issue, it’s a moral issue and so when we condemn the NRA we should not ignore the fact that a lot of people that have taken moral positions have been solid on this big one,” he said.

Rangel blamed the NRA and politicians who support the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

“I’m ashamed to admit it but its politics and its money, The NRA has taken this position, there is no reason, there is no foundation. There is no hunter that needs automatic military weapons to enjoy the culture of going hunting,” he said, apparently unaware that it is already illegal for average citizens to own automatic weapons without a special permit.

Hmmmmmmmm.... $300 for a newest pair of Nikes; or should I just spend it on a half decent computer? Naw, think I’ll invest it in a gun & a cool pair of baggie-britches, and then get several of both for free!

billions of kids are saved by guns. we win.

Watch Charlie like a hawk or he’ll pass a law without a legal vote.

Liberalism is an assault weapon. Charlie you have more blood on your liberal hands than any serial killer with or without an "assault" rifle. You have promoted the killing of classrooms full of children everyday.

[Democrat_media]

less than 100 people get killed per year in the media's mass shootings. that's in a country of 330 million people where 2.5 million home invasions happen per year. the media ignore the 2.5 million home invasions, the 58,000 children that get abducted by non-family every year in the U.S.A , and even more women disappearing , the 300,000 women getting raped per year etc. Mass shooting incidents happen so rarely in a country of 330 million people that they are statistically non-existant events. Only 1 or so per year , but 50 lighting events were people get killed by lighting. so ban lightning you morons. one psycho, a fluke gets egged on by the media fame promise out of 330 million people so the democrats say punish the 330 million people who have never done that .

The only assault weapons that are killing millions are abortionist tools.

Why wasn't this post #1?

Demoncrats are responsible for the deaths many more children than guns of any/all type, but they keep beating the same drum.

[Democrat_media]

Democrats are a disease on humanity and freedom.

some democrats : Obama, fienstein, Boxer, Ried, Rangel, Pelosi, news reporters etc.

[Daveinyork]

That may actually be close to the truth......in Africa.

“Rangel is aiming at the low information voter.”

At this point any Dem politician (especially black ones, due to the soft bigotry of lowered expectations) can make any outrageous claim and have it ignored by the Dem media. God forbid somebody stops speaking for a drink of water - because that is really important...

At least more people are realizing every day what many of us here have known for years: there is no way for the two sides to co-exist anymore.

[Tax-chick]

What the Hell does that even mean?

He's saying that "his people" prefer buying handguns to buying computers, although that may be erroneous, because you can't play computer games or watch porn if you don't have a beeber of some sort. Surely they have smartphones, at least.

I didnt know this was happening. That changes everything.
Millions of children ??? He doesnt say how often that happens. Every two hundred years millions of them are killed?.

Ban them for Gabby. save the kids.

If they ban assault weapons, how long will it be before they come after scoped rifles?

“Thousands are killed every year by rifles that can kill at over a mile away!”

Then, they will come after large caliber rifles.

“You don’t need a 50 caliber bullet to shoot deer!”

Just like the tax increases that are never enough, their desire to ban everything is never enough.

As I said on the day Heller was decided, if liberals have their way, the only firearm you will be allowed to own is a single shot inside your home. Nothing else, nowhere else.

[Impy]

We must ban freedom for TEH CHILDRENZ sake!!! It’s all for TEH CHILDRENZ.

Every three seconds an American child is mercilessly gun downed by high powered military style assault rifles. Check that, every TWO seconds.

The leading cause of dead children? Rich white men, did you know that? It’s true.

100 children are shot every time someone posts to free republic, this can be proven with “science”. Time to ban free republic! For the keeeeeeedz!!!

It is much harder for the Republicans to get away with lies. They are attacked by the MSM right away.

The left gets a pass.

[marktwain]

“apparently unaware that it is already illegal for average citizens to own automatic weapons without a special permit.”

I believe Charlie Rangel is the person who rammed through the ban on any more of those permits in 1986. It was a highly controversial move, because the tape clearly showed he did not have the votes, he just declared that he did.

He is just a corrupt liar who does not one of the many people he preyed upon to have a gun.

[RetSignman]

Years ago, when the Mafia wars were epidemic , law enforcement were trying to figure out how to stop them.

I’ll paraphrase what one agent said but he hit the nail on the head...’Why stop them they are just killing off each other for us’.

[marktwain]

“Where does this retard get his information?:”

He just makes stuff up. The MSM does not call him on it because he is “progressive” and he is “black”.

Remember the left does not believe in truth, and they have a problem with reality.
