California – -(Ammoland.com)- The protesters marching in front of your house might be a clue. But they are not the only clue for New Jersey Senator Steve Sweeney.
- A New Jersey Senator knows he has a problem when he has a permit to carry a handgun for self-defense.. and has cops parked at his doorstep, but a domestic violence victim, Carol Bowne, dies facing her stalker disarmed and alone.
- A New Jersey Senator knows he has a problem when his well-crafted damage control media campaign is completely ignored by the local news stations.
- A New Jersey Senator knows he has a problem when local police refuse to answer questions about the number of times a domestic violence victim contacted them begging for help.
- A New Jersey Senator knows he has a problem when he refuses to speak to the family of the murdered victim (Video).
- A New Jersey Senator knows he has a problem when he asks four policemen to park across the street as protesters march in front of his house.
- A New Jersey Senator knows he has a problem when twitter followers stop taking his excuses for disarming honorable citizens.
- A New Jersey Senator knows he has a problem when women in New Jersey realize they or someone they love could be the next Carol Bowne.. and they then carry protest banners in front of his house.
- A New Jersey Senator knows he has a problem when he turns on the sprinklers to hose down the protesters marching on the sidewalk in front of his house. Fortunately, it was a hot summer day and the protesters probably appreciated the spray.
We still don’t know who delayed Carol’s application to purchase a firearm for her own protection. The state police, and the local police chief are blaming each other. So are the legislators and Governor Chris Christie who crafted New Jersey’s broken legal system. We do know that the state firearms license processing division was created simply to delay the verification process and to produce a few full-time jobs for state employees.
The Jersey politicians sold out the citizens for another spoonful of union political contributions. The voters know it. No wonder citizens resent their politicians and state bureaucrats. What will the voters do?
The Recall Sweeney campaign starts on June 27th.

OK, a recall makes a point but, as was mentioned above, does not solve the problem. The mindset of invincibility, of total immunity for the results of their actions, allows our political representatives to act this way. For many reasons it is nearly impossible to take effective legal action against our political class, and that needs to change. The electorate needs to be able to hold their “leaders” accountable for their actions, so we need to start talking about limiting the legal immunities these folks abuse so freely. If it can be sown that turning on the sprinklers to water… Read more »
I just hope they make his life miserable, and for a long time. Recall would be a sweet process to watch.
What a scumbag elitist, He carries a gun, and denies other people their right to have the same protection he does, clearly “We The People” are not as important as he is.. he has police in front of his house, yet, he still carries a concealed weapon.. this is the very epitome of what is wrong with American Govt., and Sweeney needs to be the poster boy for it… stunning is his ability to even stand in front of the family of Carol Browne, the woman who was murdered because of the laws he applies to everyone else, and not… Read more »
Sweeney just happens to be the leader of the anti-gun Democrats in the NJ legislature. Even if he gets recalled we still will have to deal with the likes of “confiscate, confiscate, confiscate” Loretta Weinberg and the others who infest the chambers in Trenton.
I was at the protest. Sweeney was SUPER pissed as he got out of his Caddy Escalade. He stormed across the street muttering under his breath. Before he got there his wife had a few choice words for us low lifes. I can just imagine Slimey in his basement or garage trying to make his lawn sprinkler system operate. With the temperature over 90º the spray was very nice. Most of the populous have no clue how the S. Jersey Norcross political scene works. With the Demorats running this state and the impostor in the WH this country is headed… Read more »
If you still live in “The Peoples Republic of New Jersey,” I would urge to get the Hell out. It will never get better, and you are risking your life and those you love because the police are under no obligation to protect you, and they can’t, or won’t.
