A Politician Knows He Has a Problem When… Senator Steve Sweeney
New Jersey Citizens Protest the Murder of Carol Bowne in front of Senator Steve Sweeney
The protesters marching in front of your house might be a clue. 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, died 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.

We need SPECIFICS stated here – … Real entirely the FPID and Pistol Permit Per Pistol requirements in NJ ***AND*** repeal justifiable need. For Carol and all pending victims to be able to rightfully protect themselves the unconstitutional requirement for a redundant series of inane paperwork to be completed and processed to accomplish nothing more than what the federal NICS check already handles is ridiculous and deadly. From there – the right – SHALL ISSUE concealed carry permits should be the norm. One does not have to justify their need for a right, one must only exercise it at their own free will.

New Jersey, not only requires TWO background checks; one when you apply for the permit( with a fee to the State Police) , and then another one at the register as you pay for the pistol(yet another fee), the second fee you pay the State Police for them to access the “FREE” FBI NICS system, New Jersey puts themselves between the FFL Dealer and the FBI so you can pay NJ another fee…
As for the term “justifiable need”, in this State, justifiable need can never be met as long as the opinions, feelings, and political leanings of the grantor overrides the individual skill set of the grantee… by requiring justifiable need under these circumstances creates an elite class of people who are allowed to carry, those being the politicians, police, and their friends and relatives.. All others need not apply as you will most assuredly be denied.
As self defense doesn’t qualify you. Those who have been denied include, one person who was kidnapped and beaten, who escaped their captors, that person applied for a carry permit and was denied because the threat was already over, even though the criminals were still at large; few who carried large amounts of cash, one who replenishing private ATM machines, another who operated a thriving landscaping business. A Judge decided a private citizen carrying cash isn’t justifiable enough;

How would you feel if this happened to your family member? Just another typical political elite. Do as I say, but not as I do. Simply ignorant and hypocritical.
