Carol Bowne is dead. The petite hairdresser was murdered by her ex-boyfriend.. and by the state of New Jersey. Bowne had received threats. She did everything a law-abiding citizen could do. She obtained a protective order. She installed security cameras inside and outside her home.
Ms. Bowne tried to get a firearm for self-defense. She started the long process to be allowed to buy a gun in New Jersey. The state delayed her application and Bowne ran out of time.
The man who stabbed Carol Bowne to death was a convicted felon. He had a previous charge of battery and armed kidnapping of another women. The police knew her murderer.. and yet they denied Carol Bowne a firearm purchase permit to defend herself. |

Just about every NJ legislator needs to be smeared with this lady's blood everyday on their way into the State House just as a reminder of the consequences NJ citizens bear because of their conceits.
We will never know if Ms. Browne could have successfully defended herself. She - thanks to smug, self-righteous conceits regarding self-defense by NJ legislators - never had the chance. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
