The recall campaign, announced last year but formalized with the notice, came to a head when Sweeney promised to keep a firearms bill requiring magazine limits off the Senate floor, then changed his mind after a 2013 meeting with parents of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims.
"He looked me in the eye and told me, as long as he was Senate President there would never be an anti-gun bill to hit the floor," recalled Dan Roberts, a Franklin Township Second Amendment advocate. |

| No NJ gun owner present or witnessing Sweeney's attitude and actions at pre-legislative hearings held in Trenton on several key gun bills will ever support him. Too bad its only up to his district's voters to oust him. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
